EASTER TOLD BY THE LITTLE UGLY RABBIT Once while I was walking alone, down the path to where the water flows. Caterpillers were getting prepared to wake up from their long winter nap. breaking free from their cocoons, becoming colorful butterflys sweeping the skys. I was adminrng the daffodils flowing among the tall Georgia pines, I noticed a little rabbit peeking out from behind a tall pine tree.l she steps out and in a very loud voice for such a little rabbit she has words with me, “ I was born the little ugly rabbit…the much bigger and pretty rabbits have nothing to do with me “. But I make sure they remember me, for I know I must never be shy and always kind. I’m glad I’m the little ugly rabbit…for no one has to wait on me I’m always ahead of the game anyway you see, coloring Easter Eggs all day long and even into the night. Being big and pretty you miss out on all the fun, always worrying if the color dye will get on their fur… So that’s how come the job was handed down to me, It’s the struggles in life that make us US and pretty won’t get it down ! The morning glories blink at us with drowsy eyes, but the big and pretty rabbits keep passing us by. When the red breast robin sings his song of cheer, you will know without a doubt Spring Time is here!!! Life is very delicate , but yet has so much power. Please try to treat it with love and respect, like a butterfly on a flower. There’s a a labyrinth you must take, It’ll take you to a hill where you can hear a weeping willow cry. Heres your basket made out of tiggs, sticks and vines you must look and find my colorful eggs that the big and pretty rabbits hid to find your way. On the hill you will find a cross, a cross where Jesus was hung, The day when the sky turned the darkest of blue , the clouds, wind and rain let them know that God was on his way…and Jesus said, “ Father forgive them for all those who have sinned “. After all was said and done, and the wind and rain had diminished. With his last dieing breath Jesus said… “ Father it is finished “ They placed him inside a tomb and rolled a huge stone across to seal it, when Mary came back on the third day she was surprised to see an angel sitting on the stone, “ Behold, He is not here…He is Heaven… sitting on the right side of his Fathe who is sitting on his Throne. But he left on earh a helper to all, and to everyone it’s the Holy Spirit. The little ugly rabbit was happy that I found my way, you just have to be willing to find all the colorful eggs.
