Preparing For Easter_Day 2

Join me this week as we prepare our homes and hearts for the Easter season.

Day 2: What does Easter look like to you?

How do you feel about your family traditions surrounding Easter?

Matthew 26:6-13

ACTION STEPS:

1) Write down your family's Easter traditions, and ask your family what things they enjoy most about the Easter season.

2) Do more of the things you all love, and stop stressing about the things no one cares about.

3) If certain traditions have special meaning, either religious or generational, share those stories with your family.

4) If you've been hurt/betrayed by someone you love and you don't know how to let it go, ask Jesus to help you. He can do the impossible. Even if you don't think they deserve forgiveness, holding onto the pain is hurting you more than you know.

5) Read Acts 2:42-47 at the bottom of this email. Peter describes the body of believers. That is what I want my family to reflect. Disclaimer: I might not want them to gather "DAILY" unless someone else is cooking!

6) Listen to Prayers From a Mom Podcast this week Monday-Thursday as we prepare for Easter.

FOCUSED PRAYER:

Father,

As I prepare my heart and home for Easter, I pray that everything I do reflects you. Fill my house with joy and laughter. Help me let go of unnecessary things that aren't serving you or my family but causing us to be so busy we can't enjoy the moment. Show me ways to teach my family to remember your sacrifice and celebrate your resurrection. Where I am holding onto unforgiveness, help me let it go. When things aren't perfect in my family, remind me that perfection is not the goal; but love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control are. And all those things are present when I am following your lead. Let my family reflect the body of believers Peter describes in Acts 2:42-47.

In Jesus' name, Amen!
