I love participating in these giveaway hops! It gives me a chance to show my followers my appreciation! This one is no different!
Why is Easter so important to me? Not only does it mean I will get to see my family and friends, but it means celebrating the life I have in Jesus. The Easter season is not all about the Easter bunny and candy. It's about the death and resurrection of our Lord. It's one of my favorite times of the year because it reminds me how much Jesus had to suffer for our sins.

i love that it's a time to really reflect on what the cross means to us!
ReplyDeleteBeth
I love what Beth said :) We can pause and really think about what Christ on the cross means to us .
ReplyDeleteAs an adult, the Easter season isn't important to me because I don't celebrate the religious aspect. When I was a kid I loved the time off from school and the candy.
ReplyDeleteIts important to realize what Jesus did for us on the cross.
ReplyDeleteEaster is a time of reflection for me. It is also a time of joy. Easter means that Jesus is alive again! It's a very exciting, wonderful time. Yes, He died on the cross for our sins. But He was not dead forever. He rose again! That is what Easter is about.
ReplyDeleteAmen! That is definitely what Easter is all about. Thank you so much for the reminder! :D
DeleteJesus has rose again! Also it's my Mom's bday!
ReplyDeleteOh how neat!
DeleteWhat a fun idea! And I *love* your wallpaper. All my favorites are there--Honey Bunch, Heidi, The Happy Hollisters. So fun!
ReplyDeleteAs for Easter, I love the colors of Easter. The family time. And the exciting message that Jesus is alive.
Wishing everyone a happy Easter! (P.S. Don't enter me in the drawing. I just wanted to stop by and say "hi."

ReplyDeleteThe most important is the remembrance of the rising of Jesus. I also love to see the kids happy and running around Easter egg hunting.
ReplyDeleteMost of all it is because Christ was resurrected so we will all live eternally. Then because of His Atonement so we might be able to return to Heavenly Father's presence if we live obedient.
ReplyDeleteIt is a symbol of new life and new beginnings.
I love Easter because I get to spend lots of time with my family.

ReplyDeleteEaster is special as the resurrection of Jesus, family, friends, and food and a great family meal
ReplyDeleteIt is a great time to spend with family.
ReplyDeleteBecause it's one of the few times I can hang out with my family. We're all so busy with work and school that it's hard to even have dinner together at night. But on Easter, nothing's in the way. :)
ReplyDeleteI like to come together with my family and share a nice meal.
ReplyDeleteEaster is special to me because I get to show the meaning of Easter to my kid. As well as spend time with family and treats.
ReplyDeleteI love the family getting together at any Holidays, for Easter we are all having dinner together.
ReplyDeleteFor religious reasons and for the family being together
ReplyDeleteIt's special because I get to be with my whole family!
ReplyDeleteI'll be honest and say it's the sweets. ;) And how profound the whole occasion is.
ReplyDeleteSince my "clan"—relatives, in-laws, close family friends—is very tight, everyone always sees one another, and we don't need excuses to get together.
Easter is a time to be thankful for the resurrection of Jesus and that we are saved through his sacrifice on the cross. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteEaster is what makes me really realize that it's spring.
ReplyDeleteIt is our family tradition
ReplyDeleteIt's special because it allows me time with my family.

I get to spend time with my children and grandchildren.
ReplyDeleterita.navarre@yahoo.com
My father died on Easter, so for me it's a time of remembrance.
ReplyDeleteOh Melinda, I'm sorry to hear that. Believe me, I understand the pain and grief that comes with losing a loved one... I hope each year gets a little less painful and the memories you have with your father become a comfort instead of a hurt. God Bless you!
DeleteIt reminds me what Jesus did for us.
ReplyDeleteBecause I get to spend it with my family. :)
ReplyDeleteIts fun to be with family
ReplyDeleteEaster is all about family for me!
ReplyDeleteEaster is special to me because of the Resurrection of Jesus.
ReplyDeleteWe don't go to church, but that doesn't mean we don't reflect on the true meaning of Easter. Church is just a place - it's what in your heart that counts. It was a beautiful sunny day, but not very warm.
ReplyDeleteBonnie Hilligoss - bonnie at bonnieanddave dot com
The Religious aspect is the main reason and also it is a family tradition for us.
ReplyDeleteEaster is a time of reflection, that Jesus died on the cross so that we can all be born again. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteThe Easter season is special to me because it marks the resurrection.
ReplyDeleteEaster is important to me because I get to spend time with my family. My dad works every night except Sundays, but because of Easter I was able to also see him on Saturday :D
ReplyDeleteI don't celebrate the holiday
ReplyDeleteIt is the single most important event in the Christian religion. Much of who I am is formed based on my relationship with God, and without Easter (and all it represents), that relationship could not exist.
ReplyDeleteBesides being a time of contemplation and renewal, Easter also means family time and chocolate bunnies!!!
ReplyDeleteIt means spring is here and a time for renewal.
ReplyDeleteSpring is here! Longer days, warmer weather, flowers. I love this time of year.
ReplyDeleteIt is a great time to reflect on Jesus.
ReplyDeleteI love the time I get to spend with my kids decorating the eggs, cooking with them and then watching them hunt the eggs!
ReplyDeleteEaster is special to me for religious reasons.
ReplyDeleteI love spending the time with the family while remembering the reason for the holiday.

My family get together to go to church :D
ReplyDeleteeaster usually coincides with school vacation week so i get a lot of babysitting work, which helps our family out a lot financially on top of my other job. i like being able to show i care, not just tell them.
ReplyDeleteMy mother used to host our extended family's Easter dinner when she was alive. I've always felt a deep spiritual bond with her, even after she passed away. So not only does Easter reminds me of Jesus' suffering for our sins, it reminds me how hard my own mother worked to raise me and my brothers and to provide a warm, loving, safe home for us all. I like to say an extra prayer for her during Easter Mass for that reason.
ReplyDeleteEaster is special because it is a time to get together with family.
ReplyDeleteEaster usually falls close to my birthday (April 21st) so we get to spend even more time together as a family than usual than just the normal post-church Easter dinner. And since to say that my sister and I don't get along would be a massive understatement, two family-observed holidays back to back ensures we are on our extra-special-best behavior...which helps both us and my mom enjoy our time together all the more.
ReplyDeleteI get to spend it with my family.
ReplyDeleteIt's special because it's the resurrection of Jesus.
ReplyDeletebituin76 at hotmail dot com

ReplyDeleteEaster almost always falls on someone's birthday in our families with over 15 people born in April it's bound to happen every other year or so. I love to break out all my bake ware and challenge myself into making new treats and goodies each Easter for my family. Easter is always a party both for religious reasons and for family time together.
