Some Bunny Loves You

Happy Easter! Okay, I know it's a bit late but better late than never. I had a little "Easter Bunny" visit me. I had some trouble getting a good picture. Here are few of my attempts.

Leather chairs are slippery when you wear fur on your entire body.

Some Bunny Loves you! Okay, not the best picture but Madelyn always has that quizical look when trying to take a picture.

So before you get on your "soap box" and start to think that bunnies are not what Easter is all about, I have not forgotten the real meaning of Easter and how God sent His Son to die on the cross for all of us. A gift for everyone who wants to believe.

I can't but help to think of two parallels in the Easter story this year. The first is that Manitoba residents have universal healthcare. (Madeln's hospital fees would have reached well over half a million dollars.) Free to all who register themselves with the Manitoba Health and Healthly Living office in Winnipeg. Yet some people just won't take that simple step to register themselves. They have this assumption that if they live here they should automatically receive free health care because they pay their taxes. (Just ask anyone that works in medical billing.)

We all need to have our name registered in the book of "lambs" to get the free gift of eternal life! Just living a good life doesn't give you a free pass to eternity in heaven.

The second parallel I think of is Barabbas. Now if you are familiar with the Easter story, you will know that Pilot gave the Jews a choice between crusifing Barabbas or Jesus. Barabbas was set free, I wonder how he felt. His life was spared so that Jesus could save all of us. So Barabbas could be saved by Jesus in his earthly life, and if he choose too, he could have been saved by Jesus in his spiritual life.

God saved Madelyn from dying in those first few days, and weeks of her life. He gave her the strength to fight and survive CDH. Now she too, if she chooses to believe, be saved and live with Jesus forever in heaven.
