The Art of Easter Egg-ing

March 9, 2015 by Shari

How (And Why) To Easter Egg Someone

While living in Chicago our family was going through some tough times as my 4 year old was struggling with asthma.  We’d made late-night runs to the emergency room, given her nebulizer treatments and multiple medications, slept little, and worried a lot. With all that comes with a sick child, we were exhausted and overwhelmed.

To our delight, the Saturday before Easter we woke up to find we’d been egged! Some compassionate, observant person (or family) had covered our lawn with brightly colored plastic eggs.  There were even some resting in the branches of our tree outside the kitchen window. My girls were ecstatic!

More than twenty years have passed and we still don’t know the identity of these Easter egg-ers. But we have laid some of our own eggs filled with candy, stickers, and words of love and encouragement in the yard of someone struggling. 

I love the idea of making it anonymous.  There’s something wonderful that happens to a weary soul when you don’t know who crossed your path bringing such sunshine.  You see everyone around you in good light and feel loved by many. 

So, rally your family for some eggstra special service. Look around and pray to know who really needs it.  You AND they will never forget it!

    I’ve just spent over an hour on your blog after finding it through Pinterest. It’s 12:40 a.m. here in California, and I need to get some sleep, but I wanted to comment and tell you that this is an exceptional blog. So many ideas were perfect and unique to our family and my calling in YW. Thanks for putting so much time into your blog and for so many great ideas! ~ Melissa P.
