Sometimes children do something and it makes you proud and you think yes they get it! Today was one of those days for us with Sellers. This week he decided he wanted to have his own Easter Egg Hunt. We bought some eggs and candy, he handmade invitations and delivered them by bike, made cupcakes, decorated the backyard and this morning we waited. The hunt was to be at 10:30. At 10:35 no one had shown. My heart was aching thinking that no one would show up. Then thankfully we hear a crowd of kids coming up the street. Two of the 6 families we invited came. Sellers has this whole thing planned out. After everyone came he asked them to sit down in the grass and proceeded to lead a lesson he had planned last night. He asked his Dad to read part of the story of the Resurrection out of a kids book and then he took out an envelope. He had placed nails, a cross, a purple cloth, (he couldn't find a crown of thorns) in the envelope and took them out one by one and shared what they stood for. I was so glad that the kids that had come sat quietly and listened and even participated. We were really proud of him. The Egg hunt was a huge success and everyone had a great time and ended up staying until 12:30. I think we are going to make this a tradition, being a missionary in our own yard, how great!
