Easter E.G.G.

We all know about the tradition of looking for Easter eggs, but do you know about looking for Easter E.G.G.s???? I don't know where we picked up this tradition of looking for EGGs. I am pretty sure it was from Christian radio back in the 80's or 90's. I wish I could give credit where credit is due. But, it is a tradition that our adult children still remember today.

E.G.G. stands for Evidence of God's Grace!  An evidence of God's grace is any time you see God's grace working in someone's life.  Did you overhear an older sibling encouraging a younger sibling?--that is an EGG.  Did your room mate unload the dishwasher on your day?--that is an EGG.  Did your husband pick up his socks without being reminded?--that's an EGG.  Did your friend lead out in prayer when he is normally shy?--that is an EGG.

And since we are nearing Easter, we call them Easter EGGs!

Look for Easter EGGs and then share your findings!!!  They are much more wonderful than plastic eggs, hard boiled eggs or even the incredible pysanky eggs.  At times we had egg shaped pieces of paper available for family members to write about the EGGs they spotted.  Then we would take time to read the EGGs seen in our family.  What a wonderful way to rejoice together at the work of God in your family and friends.

Happy Easter EGG hunting!
