easter egg hunt

I went to an egg hunt today, my little brother and i had a plan. it seemed flawless, and we were just sitting around waiting for the egg hunt to start. Watching all the kids getting prepared by standing at the very edge of the area covered with eggs, we were sure that they would annouce when the hunt was about to begin.

Then, out of nowhere a man yelled GO! and all those children stampeded up the hill. We didnt have a chance haha, all those eggs were snatched up before me and tony could even run over there! Although he still went up into the woods with everyone else, i felt defeated already. i was regreting wearing flipflops, and ultimately forgot that the spirit of easter egg hunting is not to try and see how many little kids you can beat to eggs, it about having fun! so i stepped carefully up the hill, and walked around with tony.

True i didnt find a SINGLE egg :) but a had fun spending time with my brother. He did end up finding a special egg that won him a prize. It was hidden well and his patience paid off.
As i consider all of these events, there are many lessons i got from it. Firstly, you must be prepared for anything lol and being closer to the action is prolly best just in case youre called early. Secondly, dont give up just because someone got a lead on you, there is still a chance!and thirdly, take youre time, you just may find something great :) life is beautiful, there will be times you feel like trying is worthless but God knows what hes doing, and trust may be hard to give but it truly makes your relationship with Him (as well as others) stronger, take a trust fall sometime, youll land in his hands.
