Hi, everyone. Welcome to At Home with Sally. I'm Sally Clarkson, and I have the biggest

privilege in the world to be with so many friends from all over the world who join me every week

to listen to my stories, inspiration, biblical encouragement, and I am just so glad that you're here today.

Thanks so much for joining me.

Hello, my dear friends, this is Sally Clarkson, and I am so very happy that you joined me today on my podcast. I have been pondering and thinking and getting some ideas about what I wanted to share this week. But we're going through my book, Well-lived, one chapter at a time, and today we are

going to address chapter four, which is we are the light bearers. But first of all, it's just

a few days before Easter, and I wanted to throw out some of the things that we did as a family

around Easter tide, and why it was so much fun.

As many of you know, I lived for a while in Austria.

And in Austria, they have these wonderful markets during the whole Easter season.

And what they do is they're known for blowing out the egg and the yolk from inside the

egg.

They put these little pin holes in the eggs and they get all the liquid gone.

And then they put a little ribbon inside so that

you can hang the Easter egg and they paint them. They paint little rabbits. They paint flowers.

They just paint designs on these incredible, beautiful eggs. And so over a period of time,

we collected about 25 or 30 eggs, and so we would

hang them in the middle of our table on what we called the Easter egg tree. And it was beautiful

because we would get these branches from outdoors, or you can do pussy willows, which is traditional.

And then we would hang the different Easter eggs at different levels.

On our Easter egg tree, put out two candles, a couple of little bowls of flowers,

and we just had the most beautiful Easter centerpiece for a week or two before Easter. It was really a lot of fun.
