Remember

The day before Easter here. Kids are excited about egg hunts and candy and stuffed bunnies. Many of us are busy getting Sunday finery together. Where is Jesus? Did you forget this is the HOLIEST of days as a Christian?

It's easy to do. Gasp! That's an awful thing to say. So many times we get caught up in the preparations surrounding an event that we forget the most important aspect of it. Oh, Lord Jesus, that we would not forget what today means.

John 19:28-30
Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, "I am thirsty" A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus' lips. When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished" With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

Jesus died, for you and for me. Praise God it doesn't end there. He rose for us as well!

Hi! Thank you for visiting my blog, you'll find in my backlogs that me and my hubby are having marital problems. I want to make things work and well, its always so hard to identify whats right and whats wrong. I know I want my child to know that family is the most important. Also, my son's birth was very traumatic to me and I'm very grateful about his miracle. I just have too much free time in the wee hours of the morning. ;)

I love your blog so far and am reading so I can get a better insight.

Thank you so much for the nice comment.
