Its Friday.........


Today is good Friday.... Its a day of reflection... I have been thinking the last few days about this day. What it represents.... what it cost Jesus that day so many years ago.... and thankful that he did it for me. Its still hard to comprehend sometimes....




When Christian was little...oh she was so darn precious... when she would get hurt, we would ask her if we could kiss her owie...she would always tell us in this little cry... “No, I want my Jesus to make it better"! So we would pray with her, we would wipe away those tears and she would move along! I can still see her and hear her tiny voice...

She has always had this sweet spirit in her...She still does! *Ü* She was so little, but as little as she was...her faith was huge! It warms my heart...

About 9 years ago... bless her heart, she shared how much Jesus really loved us, to die on the cross year after year! "Why did He do that"? She asked... She shared how much she loved Him for that!

LOL Poor girl! She thought every Good Friday and every Easter, somewhere in the world Jesus actually was being beaten and dying on that cross.... year after year.... He rose on the 3rd day! Christian was about 7 years old when she shared this.....bless her heart... obviously we told her, Jesus died on the cross 1 time and rose on the 3rd day 1 time, to save those who call on Him from their sin,1 time.





Isn’t it amazing how we interpret things we hear? This is one of those things I will never forget. She never has either... and we get a good chuckle when we think about it...

But today is that day... only we reflect on what Jesus did and what it truly cost Him over 2000 years ago.... it is still amazing! It is still powerful! My heart and prayer is that we choose to reflect on this...as we look forward to Sunday and the celebration of life and Jesus conquering death once and for all!!
Because... He has risen! He has risen indeed...

I hope you all have a Blessed easter Sunday!!!

I think it would do us all a lot of good if we *did* think Jesus dies for us every year. It would be more "in your face"! Not with the "attitude" attached, but a more "real" reminder. make sense?
Anyhow, I hope you had a great Easter weekend and are feeling refreshed!

Hugs to you!
