Why? Why Easter Baskets?
2 Timothy 3:15, "and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus."
So, I ask you how can children learn the meaning of Easter if the word is not presented to them? Statistics suggest that most children in poverty stricken homes grow up not knowing the word of God. If we do not seize the opportunity to provide the least of these with the word, then where else should they here about God?
Could you imagine waking up on Easter Sunday with nothing as a child?
Maybe some of you reading this, have experienced that feeling. But, even coming from less than pleasant circumstances as a child, I always had an Easter basket. We want to fill the gap for families that may not have the ability to provide baskets for their children. Kids shouldn't suffer just because of the family's circumstances.
