Easter Morning Story....With A Catch

On the way home from church this morning, Lily waved about the paper-and-popsicle-stick puppets she had made in Children's Church. The first had a picture of an angel on it. Here is the ensuing conversation:

"What's on your puppet? Is that an angel?"

[wave, wave] "Yep!"

"And what's on the other one? The...three...Mary's? Is that what that says?"

[wave, wave] "Yep!"

"Were they at the tomb where they buried Jesus?"

[flap, flap] "Yep!"

"Was He there?"

"No! [shouts] He was ALIVE! And these girls went there because Jesus had a stinky bottom so they had to put perfume on it. And salt and pepper."

[trying very hard to control my laughter] "Were they surprised?"

[flap, flap] "Yep! 'Cause Jesus died but then he didn't stay dead!"

Nothing can hold back our Jesus - not even death....or a stinky bottom.
