Easter Sunday I sat with some of the little ones as they ate their snacks after the service. One little girl in particular was very talkative. She had on her new Easter dress and was quite proud of her new little pink purse. While she carried her food to the table, I carried her purse. (Which was quite heavy, by the way!)
Adrianna: See my new purse?
Me: It's very pretty! I like the pink color, and the sequins.
What do you have in your purse?
Adrianna: Some lipstick. And some bubble bath.
Me: Those are good things to have with you.
Adrianna: And a battery.
Me: Why do you have a battery?
Adrianna: Because I like batteries!
There you have it. Out of the mouth of a pre-schooler. The three essentials to carry in your purse.
On Easter Sunday, why not carry bubble bath in your purse?! Jesus washed away our sins by His death and resurrection. We are made clean through Him. As for the battery, I suppose you can say it signifies that we get our energy from Him. We are a useless shell that doesn't work without Him to fuel us.
And the lipstick? It reminds us that no matter how much we try to gussie ourselves up, God see us for who we truly are. He sees into the depths of our souls. And He died for us anyway. He died for us BECAUSE of those things!
