We held our fourth annual Easter Eggstravaganza at Lincoln Park today. I think somewhere between 1300-1500 parents and kids showed up. It was a-mazing. And I was reminded that it can all be traced back to one good idea and lots of planning and hard work! I was so proud of everybody who invested so much time and energy and love into it.
I know I'm biased, but I honestly think it may be the most enjoyable two hours of the year for not just our family but many families on the hill. It is pure fun and unadulterated joy. One of the reporters commented on the positive energy. The volunteers do such an amazing job of showing the love of Christ. It's like it oozes out of their pores! What I love is that I don't have to do a thing. I just come as a parent and soak it up.
When Josiah got up this morning he said, "I'm going to get five eggs." Dream big! He ended up getting a few more than that. It was funny how long it took for the pre-K kids to get all the eggs and how fast the older kids did it. There is nothing like seeing hundreds of kids running around picking up thousands of easter eggs! It is my definition of chaos. It is also my definition of joy.
