| The Resurrection of Christ….the greatest event to ever take place for us…. |
I have SO loved this idea since getting it once in Relief Society in a lesson on the great sacrifice of our Savior and His Atonement. I have used this around the Easter dinner table in my family. I’ve used it teaching teenagers in Sunday School and in a Family Night. And I’ve reused it in primary.
Kids love object lessons. And this easter egg “signs of the Savior’s Sacrifice for us” is a great object lesson for kids and adults alike. Every year, when I’ve taken out my little basket of eggs I’ve got a tear in my eye. I love the Savior. I believe in Him with all my heart. And I know in whom I have trusted.

In this chaotic life we are all a part of, it is a simple and clear walk through the steps to the Savior’s crucifixion and resurrection, easily understood. I would try to do this activity as a family on Easter Sunday.

| I love this painting depicting the sacrifice our Savior made for us…. |
As a former Catholic, and a convert to the church, I always have mixed feelings about not telling exactly what happened to Christ during his great sacrifice in Gethsemane and the events leading up to the Crucifixion. Why not recognize the greatest sacrifice ever made, given by the greatest who ever lived among us, on the universal celebration of Easter? I never did get that. Try to honor the Savior on Easter. That’s my simple and heartfelt message.
| Another favorite painting of mine…I’m looking for a big copy of it to put in my greatroom remodel…it says to me….”I will look for you when you are lost…even though you are odd, different, ugly, damaged” His love for us, evident. |
The eggs can be put together using this easy tutorial HERE at Serving Pink Lemonade’s blog. . Use stuff around the house to fill your eggs. Another with a LIST is HERE at scribd.com. I actually like both of them. You could do a combination of both lists. I would skip the vinegar though, yucky :D. A third lists is here copied from Yahoo Voices.
Some links for flipcards on good Easter songs are HERE at Precious Primary. 1. Jesus Has Risen 70, 2. Hosanna 66, Beautiful Savior 62 To Think About Jesus 71, etc. HERE is a flipchart on He Sent His Son at Sugardoodle. Pick a child to come up and choose an egg. Read the scripture inside and show what object is inside and explain what part it played in the Easter story. It is usually a very quiet and reverent time.

I loved getting this for my family and using it many times. It has made a big difference in my life and my family’s too I believe.

| I am looking forward to Easter and Conference. My little kid’s table all ready….. |
 |
| These eggs can be used for Resurrection Easter Eggs and the leftovers for an Easter Egg Hunt! |

| “The grace of God is a precious gift, an enabling power to face life with quiet courage, to do things we could never do on our own. The Great Physician does more than forgive sins. He ministers relief to the disconsolate, comfort to the bereaved, confidence to those who wrestle with infirmities and feelings of inadequacy, and strength and peace to those who have been battered and scarred by the ironies of this life.” Robert Millett (see Isaiah 61:1–2, Alma 7:11–13).” |
As we contemplate the gifts we have received from our Savior, and Redeemer, I have hope and trust in the above quote. I know there is a power we can turn to when life gets hard. And I, for one, need that power every single day.
