Easter Eggs

Well, I hope you all had a happy Easter! I certainly did. We have not made our traditional bunny cake or had our big Easter dinner but we will do such and have such later today. We did, however, dye Easter eggs and that is one of my favorite things to do on Easter. I just thought I'd share a few pictures of them:

Footprints

One Night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking on the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonged to him and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you the most you would leave me."

The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

I just love that story. I don't know who wrote it but whoever they are they did a good job. Today, the craziest thing happened. Today (yes, in April) it snowed! Not a big heavy snow but a light feathery snow that won't stick. Maybe if were lucky it'll snow on Easter! Wouldn't that be something! Well, I need to go now so to all you who read my blog (Specter) thank you for your constant support and good day!

Happy Easter!

Yesterday, Frieday,, was not just any old Frieday, but it was good Frieday, the day Jesus Christ was crusified. It was a day of sadness and suffering for all who love Him. A day without hope. Today is Saturday, and according to the Jews, it is the Sabbath. Today, Saturday, Jesus was inside the tomb. Today people are sort of happy-sad because we know that Jesus died for us but at the same time we know that we don't deserve it and so we are sad. Tomorrow is Easter, the day that Jesus Christ rose from the dead. Tomorow is a day of happiness and renewed hope. We will all rejoice for our savior is alive! When He died on the cross on Frieday, we were sad and had no hope. Saturday we were in the middle, not hopeless but not rejoicing. Sunday, we will have our hope renewed and we will be ready to serve the Lord with everything we have. Where are you? Are you living like it's Frieday, or are you living like it's Sunday? Yesterday, Frieday, my youth paster gave a sermon with this theme, I thought that it was one of the most powerfull sermons he has given in a while and I enjoyed it a lot. Happy Easter!
