Easter Childhood Memory

I remember so vividly when I was about 7 or 8 yrs old, eagerly waiting to watch the movie of Jesus' 
life, the day before Easter. It was, what it seemed to me at the time, an all day movie, but I just couldn't 
wait! I remember sitting on the floor asking my dad "Is it starting soon?" I am not sure why I was so eager 
to watch it for the, well probably only the second or third time that I could remember, but that year 
was especiallymemorable. I seemed to have understood what He had done for me and could feel a 
genuine love for Him! But what did I know at that age :)

Today, I am able to feel this genuine love and excitement again, as this season of celebration
nears, but only because of His grace. Many things have happened between then and now,
but I will keep these for another blog:)

What are you Easter childhood memories? How did they help shape who you are today?
