“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” Ephesians 4:32

Easter is such a beautiful time to consider all the ways in which Jesus has shown kindness to us.

His kindness extended from the many ways He loved and helped people during His ministry on earth, all the way to His sacrificial death on the cross – the ultimate act of kindness on our behalf.

To help your Happy Buddies show kindness as Jesus exampled, this Bunny Service Jar is just the thing!Simply find a jar – I found mine at the Dollar Tree.Grab a handful of cotton balls.

Attach the printable poem to the jar.

Click HERE for Free Printable Bunny Service Jar Poem

Gather your Happy Buddies around and read the poem together.  Talk about the importance of doing kind things for others in the spirit of what we are remembering this Easter season (and every day, for that matter! :-)).

Then let your Happy Buddies loose in order to see all that God inspires in them to do for others. 🙂

Place a cotton ball (Bunny Tails) in the jar for every act of kindness.

When your Bunny Service Jar is all filled up, make an Easter treat together as a way to celebrate!

Here are some of my favorite Easter treats…

Lovin’ these adorable Peep treat baskets of deliciousness from The Crafting Chicks!  Oh, Peeps, there is no end to the creative and yummy fun with you!

*Kids can help with the molding of the Chinese Noodles and also placing the jellybeans/Peeps in the nest.

Baking an Easter Bunny cake is so much fun!!!!

*Kids can help decorate the bunny with jellybeans, licorice, Hershey’s Kisses, etc.

Or you could simply print this free bunny candy bar cover from HERE and just wrap it around a Hershey’s Bar.  These are sure to get your Happy Buddies hoppin’!

*Kids can help (after receiving their own Bunny Candy Bar from you) by making Bunny Candy Bars for neighbors and friends – don’t forget to add more cotton balls to your now exploding service jar!! 🙂

Click Image for Instructions

And finally, these Chocolate-Dipped Rice Krispie Treat Eggs are just too cute not to share!  Kitchen Simplicity provides a very easy recipe!

*Kids will love dipping the eggs in the melted chocolate and sprinkles.

Whatever treat you decide, enjoy doing it together – partying about the ways Jesus has shined forth from your Happy Buddies’ lives.

Happy Bunny Service Jar-ing! 🙂

*I was inspired for this idea by a similar jar over at the amazing Creative Stirrings.

  • I find myself spending more time looking at the world and the problems instead of looking at these 4 heroes right here. This is what needs our attention. This is where change begins. Spend time praying for them instead of scrolling vanity. Spend time memorizing God’s Truths instead of dwelling on flawed opinion. Spend time laughing and playing and breathing deep the smell of their necks. Spend time teaching and training and living in the ✨light✨. This is the future. God has great things coming.

  • Life Updates >> Ryan - This weekend I broke the garbage disposal for the 14th time in our 17 years of marriage and he has not yet given up on me and my lack of understanding of what NOT to put down there. Love always hopes! Noah - Playing on the school basketball team and totally killing it this year! I have no idea what is happening on the court most of the time, but I know enough when the ball swishes through the hoop! Jethro - Creative, funny Jethro. He loves to make people laugh. And he loves to

  • Baby Zion is now officially acting like a toddler! We have mastered the words “No” “Mine” and how to go boneless when you don’t want mom to pick you up. Gearing up for this season of parenting with some truths >> ✨It is kindness that leads us to repentance.✨ It is love that covers over a multitude of sins.✨ It’s funny how doing this the third time isn’t as angering as it was with the first 2!

  • I went to church today. It was so good and so needed. I haven’t been in weeks. It’s funny how I let myself get comfortable with that. I tell myself it’s easier to just watch church at home online. Which is not true because basically every time I do that the children start a wrestling match in the living room while I am trying to listen to the sermon. Or the baby poops during the opening song. Or someone is inevitably injured. But I tell myself how nice it was to not wake up early. How lovely to stay in

  • We got fancy last night for our neighbor’s wedding. ‍♂️The wedding was about an hour drive away, so we had lots of time for car conversations without kids. This usually means that I vomit all the stuff I have been trying to process on my own and Ryan swoops in with a few ultra wise one-liners that talk me off the ledge. Things I learned on the drive... 1. Stop watching the news. Our souls were not made for so much information. 2. Never stop dreaming. Even if your circumstances are hard and you feel all your creativity and hopes

  • When I had covid, this precious mama of mine called me every day. She dropped groceries on our doorstep (and even decorated them with Christmas lights ). She had food delivered to our house. She wore silly Christmas glasses and FaceTimed me to make me smile. She watched every single one of My ABC Truth Tree videos and liked them. She texted me every day to make sure I was taking medicine and drinking enough water. She prayed for me and reminded me that it would all be okay when I called her in tears on Christmas Eve worried that

  • It’s hard to believe that 17 years ago I slept through my alarm, set my veil on fire, had 9 precious flower girls walk down the aisle before me, and we made a covenant before God that we would love and serve each other forever. We don’t do it perfectly, but, by God’s grace, we keep showing up. And he never fails to make me laugh. Happy Anniversary to the best man I know! . Photo Credit >> @heatherholtphoto ✨
