When my daughter was three (she is now 22) I was exposing her to church as a traditional form of worship with congregations. She asked me one day during the week before Easter what was the basket they passed down the pews for? I explained that was to support the Church involvement in social programs worldwide and to support the local church and minister.
HERE IT COMES ....
Easter Sunday she and I went to Church, the basket comes down the pew, and my daughter pulls out one of her colored eggs from her own basket at home and deposits it in the basket. I was so proud of her giving of herself in the way that she could. I then watched as the basket continued it's journey and the egg rolled around. The giggles and looks were priceless. I will never forget this as long as I live.
Out of the action of children are some very powerful lessons!
