Simplicity on Easter

I was on the beach yesterday with my son Gabriel, on an idyllic Easter Monday spent with great friends. We were on waters edge, and I decided we would write in the sand with sticks. I would write something, like G-A-B-R-I-E-L and he would write under it. Then I wrote out the alphabet to be more instructional, and we read it out together. Then I wrote a really big J-E-S-U-S. Then he wrote under it. Passersby, were reading our little lane of letters, and finally arrived at our double Jesus, and we heard them say "Jesus".

Father & son, writing the name of Jesus, on the beach for people to see, in the purpose of practicing writing, on an Easter holiday. As strangers uttered his name, I found a profound simplicity of the Gospel, and how we had been a heartwarming testimony on that day.

So celebrate the risen Saviour. My son and I have been learning how.
