I'm only sixteen, but i feel like in some ways, we have lost the meaning of many holidays! Easter is so special. I teach Sunday school at my church, and it was so sweet today when i asked what Easter means...the children thought about it for a minute, then one quietly spoke up and said..."that's when Jesus came back!!!!" It was adorable...I agree...the decorations and all is a very fun thing to do, as long as we still keep the true meaning alive. :)</p> http://www.bakersfieldvoice.com/home/Blog/brewergirl/23245/#c_212121 http://www.bakersfieldvoice.com/home/Blog/brewergirl/23245/#c_212121 <p>definitely!
