As a believer

on Easter Sunday, a celebration of Christ's Resurrection, and our receiving the greatest gift imaginable, forgiveness of all our sins - I just find it impossible to understand how buying new clothes, hunting for "easter eggs", giving all kinds of gifts- from candy to stuffed animals to chicks or even more expensive gifts ( this years spending on "easter gifts" was expected to top 18.4 billion dollars in the United States alone) can add anything to His gift?
