2009 Easter Earth Day e-Newsletter

23 Apr 2009
Dear Friend,

At Easter egg hunts, one never knows what he may find. Sometimes, one looks under an overturned pot and finds an insect rather than a brightly colored egg!

Sometimes one is looking with much difficulty through shrubs, dirt and grime but does not find the egg right under a few blades of grass at his feet.

These simple child delights confront us yet today. Life can be one great egg hunt in which we do not know
what meets us at every turn.
For many, Easter (meaning "Great Day" in Slavic), ends after April 12th and is only the culmination of the Lenten Season and Holy Week festivities.

But for all Christians, the season of rejoicing has just begun! Within the next 50 days (until the Feast of Pentecost), we recall how the dark and gloomy night of Good Friday turned into the new dawn of Easter Sunday!

As this period is more special than others, let's look around us with great anticipation for what the Lord has in store for us. Let's open our hearts to the joy of His eternal gift! His surprises ever abound and surround us everywhere!



Happy Easter Season and Happy Earth day on April 22, 09!


One is nearer God's heart in a garden than anywhere else on earth. .~Dorothy Frances Gurney

Easter Joys

Celebrating the season of all seasons!

  • Fellowship with others by sharing a meal and giving thanks for the blessings of good friends and family.

  • Read from the bible to learn about Jesus' victory over sin and death starting at Matthew chapter 28. Other accounts of this wonderful event are found on Mark 16, Luke 24 and John 21. You can continue reading a chapter a day to grow in your love for Him. If you need more understanding, bible study guides are abundant at biblegateway.com

  • If you have children in your home, read the story to them and draw pictures that will center your hearts and minds to Jesus' rising. Hang the pictures all around your home.

  • Every Sunday, say a family prayer together and make sure it has a lot of "Alleluias" in them since many churches refrained from singing this during Lent. Click here for sample prayers

  • Make an Easter Cross. Take a plain wooden cross and wrap vines, flowers and thin branches all around it. Set it on the soil or on a flower pot for all to see!

Cool Summer Ideas

  • Drink loads and loads of water and other fluids to avoid dehydration. If possible, bring water with you always. Remember that alcohol, caffeine and sugary drinks dehydrate you. Eat cold salads and fruits which have a high water content. Avoid heavy meals which are harder to digest.
  • Keep the heat out by using white shades or drapes on your windows.
  • Surround your home with plants and trees! Even air conditioners get help if they are under the shade as they will need less electricity to run!
  • Put some cool water in an atomizer and spritz your face every now and then to refresh yourself!
  • Make your own Drink Cooler! Click here
  • Going on a vacation this summer? Try making friends and saving up on accomodations by going couchsurfing! Click here
  • Save money and produce your own organic sunblock and also protect yourself from the synthetic ingredients in commercial products. Click here

Reseller's Corner
Starting a business?

Papemelroti started way back in 1968. Proprietors Benny and Corit started risk-free by using the small space below their apartment as their first business space. Their location was right along a busy street so it was perfect! Since they had 5 young children, they were not in the habit of risking funds by renting a space elsewhere.

Why not start where you are? We oftentimes dream too big and consequently never get to take that first baby step. Dream big but take small steps and you won't fall too far if ever you make a mistake. Take that step today!

Don't forget to share what you've learned in the retail business!
