SIMON SAYS

A snapshot memory from Easter Sunday: my sister organized a huge egg hunt for her five grandchildren and our youngest, Maddy, 5.

It was a free-for-all, with kids running this way and that, screaming with joy in the confusion and excitement. It was reminiscent of the chaos and noise at the New York Stock Exchange when the high rollers really get rolling.

When it was over, five of the six went inside to count their loot. But Simon, 1 ½, lingered. He only had a couple of eggs in his basket, but he plopped down and was filling up his basket with more and more round things.

But these weren’t plastic eggs filled with candy and coins. These were landscaping rocks.

Hey! He’s a little boy! Who’s to say the Bunny didn’t leave ROCKS for him? They’re what a little boy that age loves best!

Prayer request: In the afterglow of Easter, it’s sad to have to report that there’s a husband named Randy who is being less than kind. There’s also a wife who is hanging in there in the marriage in obedience to the Lord, but wanting things to be so much better. Christ didn’t die for us to be miserable. He wants us to be happy and fulfilled in every way, especially our key relationship, marriage. Father, we pray for a work of Your majesty in Randy’s heart and marriage, to make both a lot closer to Your design. (Ephesians 4:31,32)
