Easter ---my favorite time of year drawing near

Easter

 my favorite time of year

of all the other days Easter means more to me

 love CHRISTmas and the birth of JESUS

however

Easter brings the new beginnings

new life, the renewing , the freshness of
spring

all things come to life near Easter

just as JESUS brought to us

the new life by the shedding of his precious blood

it just makes me feel so alive

I am like a kid at Easter yep this old gal

loves to

color eggs as you know they taste better

at Easter

each year I try to give up something for Lent

and in the giving up

the closeness

I feel

reminds me of an old song

draw me nearer , nearer to the cross

that is my prayer

draw me nearer , nearer to you JESUS

each day 

Without Easter,

there would be no hope of heaven.

Without the hope of heaven,

there would be no repentance,

no personal transformation,

no attempt to follow biblical principles.

Without Easter,

the world would be in chaos

and darkness.

Jesus’ death and resurrection

means we can be reborn,

to live better, to do better,

to shine light into the shadows.

Hallelujah!

Happy, Happy Easter.

May you too feel the renewing , refreshing of
JESUS
this year

My Simple Pleasure

this week

is

Last night it was storming,

our dog is so afraid of storms that

my husband has to take him to

bed and build him a fort of pillows to

surround him 

with it storming my husband and I take

Champion to bed

and we just lay there and

have a little talk

I look over and see

our peaceful and

comforted he feels with just

my husband letting him

lay on his pillow as he feels my husbands touch

such a simple pleasure to lay and talk and comfort

our baby doggy

thinking about this simple pleasure I have to say

it reminds me of wanting to feel

that kind of  protection and comfort from our heavenly father

Just knowing his hand is always on us

how awesome !!!

Lent 2009

LENT and giving up soda's by Glenna Marcum-Reynolds on Sunday, March 29, 2009 at 11:30am


I just wanted to write a little bit about Lent  this year as most of you know it started
Feb.25 and I choose something this year that has been the hardest for me I have gave up all soda's (which I drank 6 to 8 diet ones a day )and so far so good
with this choice I didn't know that every time I passed a Soda Machine, Carton of Soda or looked in my Fridge, just how much I would be reminded of the sacrifice and the Forty days that JESUS was in the wilderness praying ,each time I have just said  thank you JESUS for the ultimate sacrifice you gave just for me
In years past I have given up different things but this year it truly has been a hard one and I have about 15 more days to go so for the next fifteen days I know it will be just as hard if not harder as it was this past Friday I went to Subway ordered a drink and looked at the soda machine and thought OH NO , NO water how tempting this was for me , then I looked a little closer and saw the water tab and on this day I had to look a little closer at my walk and how I can be seen as a better witness for CHRIST .. you see the drinks were all labeled bright and pretty very appealing to the eye and the water that was  so pure was such a   small tab not bright didn't stand out like the others ..the purest item on the drinks was almost not seen
this made me think how we as Christian should stand out and be Bright not dull or stay
hidden
I just wanted to share this experience thus far ....



( I had posted this on facebook in 2009 and wanted to share this with blogspot. )

Blessings to you all
