Hi! It’s Tuesday and that means it is time for The Southern Special 3! I hope you had a great Easter and took some time to spend with your family this past weekend!
Easter is a very special holiday! You have the excitement of the bunny coming with your basket, hunting eggs, and candy, but there is also the reason why we celebrate the holiday!
Some of my favorite memories of Easter are the youth lock-ins we would have at my church! The youth group would stay the night before Easter and get breakfast ready for after the sunrise service. We always had so much fun playing games and eating junk food! We would play flashlight tag, sardines, and a bunch of other games. The boys even had a lock-in tradition of couch-hopping until they got too tall for it! Our Sunday School class room had couches that we would take out into the big room to sleep on. The boys started doing this during the junior high lock-ins and it continued until we graduated from high school. It is exactly what it sounds like. They would take a running start and see who could get the most “air time”. It was a well loved tradition!
I would always try to get some sleep, but it was kind of hard with everyone yelling and having fun. A friend and I would go lay down on a couple of the pews in the sanctuary. It was always so peaceful and smelled so good because of the Easter lillies at the front. Plus being alone in the sanctuary on Easter morning knowing that Jesus had risen was just breathtaking!
Are you ready to get this party started? I know I am! I always look forward to The Southern Special! MAKE SURE YOU LINK YOUR POST BACK TO THE BLOG YOU LINKED UP WITH!
