Easter the celebration of Christ's resurrection. Here are some prompts to help you reflect on the importance of this holiday.

Christ is my risen Savior. I am so thankful for that. I am not sure if you've had the pleasure of having a personal encounter with Him or not, but if you want one, please feel free to contact me. I'd love to tell You about the One who saved my life!

Here are some prompts to include your journal ideas on Easter:

Day One: Do you celebrate Easter? Or is it just another holiday for you? Share with your journal how your celebration of Easter evolved. Did you just pick up the tradition from you family or have you created one of your own?

Day Two: Do you attend church and have a big dinner on Easter? If you go to church do they have special services on Easter? If not, how do you feel about that? What is your favorite dish to eat at Easter time?

Day Three: What is your favorite Easter memory from your childhood? Share all the details, place, where, when, people, how, why? Why do you think this memory sticks out in your mind as your favorite?

Day Four: Do you hide Easter eggs? Real or plastic? If you use real eggs do you color your own or buy already colored? If you use plastic do you hide little goodies inside? Ever found a rotten egg?

Day Five: Growing up did you have an Easter bonnet? If so please describe, was it homemade or store bought? If you didn't have one why not design one in your journal today that you would of loved to have. Or better yet, why not make one or buy one for that special little girl in your life.

Day Six: Does the Easter bunny show up on the day you celebrate Easter? Or not? Why? Do you know who Peter Cotton Tail is?

Day Seven: Chocolate? How does this favorite play into your Easter traditions?
If you don't like chocolate, what is your favorite sweet thing to get or give on Easter? What is your favorite thing that is only available at Easter time?

Day Eight: What does the resurrection of Christ mean to you and your family? How to make sure you honor this celebrated holiday in His Name?
