As we have in other years, we are preparing for Easter as a family by using the Resurrection Eggs.
If you don't have these for your family, I highly recommend them! They are a very good way for children to learn the story of Easter.

For me personally preparing for Easter, I'm not doing a specific Lenten devotion. But I have had some devotions lately that have really focused on God's love and mercy being shown to us because of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
During Lent this year, I really want to focus on this amazing gift of love.
I am a sinner SAVED BY GRACE, not by who I am or what I have done, but by WHO JESUS IS AND WHAT HE HAS DONE!
I thought this song really captured that thought:
LYRICS:
Yet Not I but Through Christ in Me
What gift of grace is Jesus my redeemer
There is no more for heaven now to give
He is my joy, my righteousness, and freedom
My steadfast love, my deep and boundless peace
To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus
For my life is wholly bound to His
Oh how strange and divine, I can sing: all is mine
Yet not I, but through Christ in me
The night is dark but I am not forsaken
For by my side, the Saviour He will stay
I labour on in weakness and rejoicing
For in my need, His power is displayed
To this I hold, my Shepherd will defend me
Through the deepest valley He will lead
Oh the night has been won, and I shall overcome
Yet not I, but through Christ in me
No fate I dread, I know I am forgiven
The future sure, the price it has been paid
For Jesus bled and suffered for my pardon
And He was raised to overthrow the grave
