Do you like holidays? All over the world people have special days that they enjoy celebrating. There are so many wonderful days. Which is your favorite?The most amazing and special day of all is Eastermas.Did you say that you never heard of Eastermas? That's not surprising because most people think of it as two separate holidays, and they call them Easter and Christmas. However, they really do go together.Eastermas is the most important part of the plan that God made before the creation of the world--a plan to save His people from the problem of sin.God knew even before He created the world and everything in it that Adam and Eve would sin. It didn't surprise Him, and He had a plan already made. That plan is what Eastermas is all about.Are you getting interested to learn more about Eastermas? It will take some brain stretching to understand, but that is a good thing and not at all painful.

Do you know some of the stories from the Bible? There''s the story of how God created the earth; Noah and the ark; Joseph and his coat of many colors; Moses and the burning bush; David and the giant, Goliath; the story of Jesus''s birth; many stories of Jesus healing people; and, of course, the wonderful story of the first Easter. Did you ever wonder how each of these stories and many others were chosen to be in the Bible and how they fit together? Each of these small stories is part of a much, much larger story.Now most stories begin and end. They start with "once upon a time" and end with "they lived happily ever after." The Bible is different because it is God''s story, and He is a forever God. His story goes "from before the beginning" and continues "to forevermore," and it is all about His big plan for you and me. Are you interested in learning more? I should warn you that since God is so big, His story takes a bit of brain stretching to understand. But don''t worry, brain stretching is not painful.
