Easter Grass, a beautiful story....

Hello Fellow Marchers,We wont be having any Easter Candy this year But I thought It would be Nice to share an Inspirational message On this Holy Day! God Bless you all and keep you all safe from Harm, now and forever! Hugz Mary Easter Grass ============++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++============= You know what I'm talking about. It's the green stuff you fill the kids Easter baskets with; then put in the candy and little surprises for them to look for Easter morning. One Easter morning I learned that God cares about all the seemingly unimportant details of our everyday lives. We often think of praying to God when our lives are turned upside down by a tragedy or a problem that we will never be able to fix. But God cares about the little things too. I mean the really little things that somehow make everyday life really special and really worth smiling about. I was a single mom with five kids. Easter was one day away, and I had yet to fill the Easter basket for my children. I only had one that they could share. So I got the eggs, and some small goodies, and then I remembered. Easter grass! I don't have any! So I ran to the store on the Saturday before Easter, and they are all out. I run to another store, same thing. I went to every store that I thought might have some, but no one did. I had waited too long. I returned home feeling really bad. I wanted a special basket so much for my children. I said, "God, what am I going to do?" In my distress, and still trying to figure out how to make their basket look "grassy" there was a knock on the door. I answered it, and there stood the neighbor's boy, with a plate of Easter cookies. He said, "My mom thought you might like some cookies." I told him, "Thank you very much", and closed the door. My eyes almost popped out of my head, and my eyes filled with tears. Not so much because I had a plate of cookies, but because underneath the cookies, on the plate, was a pile of green Easter grass! I believe I saw God smile as I took that grass and excitedly put it in my children's basket, and filled it then with the others treats I had put away. I will never forget that moment! Does God care about the little things? You bet He does! God even cares about supplying Easter grass when there is none. What is the Easter grass in your life? I want to tell you, GOD CARES!! About the big things, the little things, the important things, the not so important things, and yes... He even cares about Easter grass! ~A MountainWings Original by Sheree Fuchs, Waupun, WI~
