JUST ONE EGG

It's hardly enough for your breakfast,

It isn't enough when you bake,

It isn't sufficient to make a meringue,

Or cookies, or a cake.

It doesn't go far in a salad,

Though you devil it, slice it or chop it.

But it covers the floor from wall to wall -

WHEN YOU DROP IT! (author  unknown)

This poem is one that my husband's grandmother kept in her scrapbook, one
that I always enjoyed..   I looked in my refrigerator the other day, saw I
only had one egg and I remembered her poem.

Sometimes we are like that one egg - we feel we aren't all that important or
that we couldn't possibly make much of a difference in our crazy, messed up
world.  "What can I do, I=E 2m just one person". Would anyone even miss me
if I didn't show up at the party or at class, or at church.  Just one egg
doesn't make an Easter egg hunt, either!  When things go wrong in our life,
sometimes we feel like we are the one egg that splats on the floor -just
another mess  for someone else to clean up.

This one little egg sitting in my refrigerator reminds me that God values me
and has bigger plans for me than just being an insignificant nuisance.
Inside the egg, God placed the essential ingredients for life.  He placed
inside each individual a heart and soul, which is more important to God than
anything else in His creation.   He valued all of us so much that He sent
His Son to the cross to pay for sin so that we could have life with Him
forever.   How can that be true?  I may never understand it and may never
have the perfect words to explain it, but I'm just glad it is true.  Jesus
cared enough that if I were the only egg in world, he would suffer and die
and rise, just for me.

 It may seem like a foolish thing for God to send His perfect Son to our
world just to have his life splattered on the ground. There were those at
the cross that day that wanted to mop up the mess and forget about it. What
a waste of a perfect life!   Some claimed it was foolishness!  But some saw
and believed and something powerful happened.  Their sins were covered
completely. They were forgiven.  They rose with Christ to new, eternal life!

 Just like the egg being dropped to the floor, when Christ died his blood
covered our sins completely - wall to wall.  No more mess, no more guilt, no
more worthlessness.  We rise from our sin to eternal life!   The symbol of
Easter is in both the cross and the egg.  Decorating and hiding eggs may
seem foolish, but the message of the cross is powerful and life changing!

1 Corinthians 1:18, 21

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing but
to us who are being saved it is the power of God.  ...God chose the weak
things of the world to shame the strong.

Happy Easter !  God bless you!
