Today is Maundy Thursday when we comemorate Jesus and His disciples eating the Passover meal. The former pastor of our church would have a Maundy Thursday service every year, but our new pastor does not. So, we decided to have our own celebration at home with our family. My dear husband, the head of our home and the priest of our family, presided over our service. He first read Luke's account of the Lord's Last Supper, then he prayed for us, and then he served us crackers and grape juice. It was beautiful. I think if we make this an annual event I would like to light some candles and sing a couple of hymns.
The point of doing this was to remember our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and to teach our children about His death, burial and resurrection. Brandon knows and understands what Jesus did for us, and we have been trying to teach Desiree. We want her to understand what a solemn but at the same time joyous celebration Easter really is.
After our little service, we had a fun family night. We played Uno. It was Desiree's first time playing. She is old enough to know her colors and numbers so she could actually play. And she had a blast!!
I hope you have a wonderful Easter celebration and remember the sacrifice Jesus made for us.
Blessings,
Melissa
