The Egg Hunt

If you’ve ever helped prepare the candy for a community Easter egg hunt, you know that can be a daunting assembling task. The first step involves finding two plastic egg halves that will connect together. Before snapping the colorful egg pieces together, a piece of candy is put in the middle. If you have a lot of Easter eggs to make up, a group of volunteers can make this process faster and more enjoyable.
I assume the egg hunt our church did (in connection with the YMCA) was a smashing success. Lots of happy kids (in a variety of ages) joyfully grabbed lots of candy at frenzied pace. Viewing this process is usually rather entertaining for the parents.

A group effort is always more successful when everyone in that crowd is totally committed. The burden is lightened, and a side effect is that friendships are developed. So don’t ever shy away from operating together as a well oiled machine. The sense of satisfaction is enormous. Give it a chance. There is nothing to be loss, and a great deal to gain.
