“Resurrection Cookies”
Also known as Easter Story Cookies
who doesnt like cookies for breakfast?!?
This is a great recipe to teach Children the REAL story of Easter. That the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior is not dead but has Risen. We serve a Risen Savior!
You will need:
1 cup whole pecans
1 teaspoon vinegar
3 egg whites
a pinch salt
1 cup sugar
a zipper baggy
1 wooden spoon
scotch tape
Bible
Instructions:
These are to be made the evening before Easter. Preheat oven to 300F.
Place pecans in zipper baggy and let children beat them with the wooden spoon
to break into small pieces. Explain that after Jesus was arrested. He
was beaten by the Roman soldiers. Read: John 19:1-3
Let each child smell and taste the vinegar. Put 1 teaspoon vinegar into mixing bowl.
Explain that when Jesus was thirsty on the cross He was given vinegar
to drink. Read: John 19:28-30
Add egg whites to vinegar. Eggs represent life. Explain that Jesus gave His life
to give us life. Read: John 10:10&11
Sprinkle a little salt into each child’s hand. Let them taste it and brush the rest
into the bowl. Explain that this represents the salty tears shed by Jesus’ followers,
and the bitterness of our own sin. Read: Luke 23:27
So far the ingredients are not very appetizing. Add 1 cup sugar. Explain that the
sweetest part of the story is that Jesus died because He loves us. He wants us to
know and belong to Him. Read: Psalm 34:8 and John 3:16
Beat with a mixer on high speed for 12 to 15 minutes until stiff peaks are formed.
Explain that the color white represents the purity in God’s eyes of those whose sins
have been cleansed by Jesus. Read: Isaiah 1:18 and John 3:1-3
Fold in broken nuts. Drop by teaspoon onto waxed paper covered cookie sheet.
Explain that each mound represents the rocky tomb where Jesus’ body was laid.
Read: Matthew 27:57-60
Put the cookie sheet in the oven, close the door and turn the oven OFF.
Give each child a piece of tape and seal the oven door.
Explain that Jesus’ tomb was sealed. Read: Matthew 27:65-66
GO TO BED!
Explain that they may feel sad to leave the cookies in the oven overnight.
Jesus’ followers were in despair when the tomb was sealed. Read: John 16:20&22
On Resurrection Sunday (Easter) morning, open the oven and give everyone a cookie. Notice the cracked
surface and take a bite. The cookies are hollow! On the first Easter Jesus’ followers were amazed
to find the tomb open and empty. Read: Matthew 28:1-9

He IS Faithful...
Master, may I be so honest? Could I admit the way I feel? I'm hurting, it seems that You've forsaken. I wonder is Your love for me still real? Tho my friends think-I am happy, unaffected by this trial, They can't see the pain I'm hiding just underneath my smile. Master I can't live this way anymore, so today I make my choice. I choose to believe that You are faithful, and my heart is in Your hands;....
I read this earlier from someone I know and it so describes the way things may be sometimes....

My Husband!!!
He is something else!
So last week I thought he had taken the garbage container to the curb...he didn't but he got it there in time after he got home from work. He's been taking care of it so I haven't bothered looking outside specifically for that right?! Well....today I did and the garbage truck had already come and ours was still under the carport! Erin got home and mentioned it....then leaves! Hmmm.....when he got back home 10 min. later I asked where he had gone and he said.....! I drove our container down to the garbage man! What??!!! My dear husband actually loaded our 40 gallon container into the back of his truck and drove down and over a couple of blocks to locate the guy and didn't even talk to him! He just got out and pointed to the back and gave the thumbs up and the guy gave him a thumbs up and emptied the container from the back of Erin's truck with his pick up arms on his truck!!!!! After that...they both drove off! He had me cracking up!!!
I'm extremely thankful though however he got it done!!! Never a dull moment at the O'Connor's!
