Easter thoughts

As I was driving down the road the other day I passed homes with Easter decorations in their yard. Cute little bunnies here and there, lots of plastic colored eggs laying around. Everything in pastels etc. I got to thinking and noticing that not one decorated house had anything that mentioned the real meaning of the holiday. Not one cross, not one fake empty tomb, nothing. At Christmas time we display Santa and nativity scenes. Why not display some bunnies bowing down at the foot of the cross? Why do we pay homage to a rabbit and a basket full of candy? The promise was made and the promise was kept, the tomb is empty. For you and for me. And it doesn't promote tooth decay! ( from all those goodies in the basket )
