thank you for that. I’ve just had a lovely but busy day with lots of family and had not yet had time to quietly contemplate the meaning of today, so I really appreciated being led there through what you wrote. Hope you and your family have a blessed weekend and enjoy celebrating the risen Jesus on Sunday too 🙂 x
Hi Rubyellen, this is a beautiful post. We do need to take the time to think on Jesus and what He did for us on the Cross. I’m guilty of everything you’ve written here too. I love the words”My grace is sufficient for you”, it gives me a hope when I feel like I’m constantly not living the way I want to for God. Yesterday our church did The Stations of the Cross and my youngest son was one of the soldiers on station one and two. He said after he had finished playing his part that he felt terrible for what he had to do. I told him it’s important to keep it real because it keeps the impact on us large on our hearts and visually to see what Jesus was out through even simulated is very confronting. I find myself hit hard by His sacrifice and the enormity of it. But without it we wouldn’t have our hope. It’s it truly humbling and convicting. I wish you and your family a very blessed Easter season.
Sin had left a crimson stain. He washed it white as snow. I’ve casually read your blog for a few years but never comment. Thank you for writing this post. What a great post. Life isn’t fair and I need to stop keeping score. Love your perspective.
Last week has been special because Ben's mom and sister were in town (they haven't been here in a few years), so we were relishing our time together. There was a lot of special grandmama time with the girls, and a lot of sister bonding time between Ben's sister and me. We saw them in Texas this past Christmas, but it's been awhile since they've been on our turf, so we are having fun hosting and cooking them some of our favorite foods. If you know us, well, more the girls and me (not Ben), the first thing on the agenda was take them to our favorite ice cream place, A la Minute. His mom and sister agreed that their ice cream is pretty terrific and the best they both ever had. There wasn't much on our agenda during their stay except spend quality time together. We did have plans to go to the Lavender Festival, but Ben's mom and sister got sick the last two days, so we had to scrap that idea. Thankfully, the festival will be going on next weekend, so Ben and I are hoping we can still take the two little ones. It was a fast 5 days with them and we look forward to seeing them again in July when they come back to drop off the big girls.

This is beautiful. Thank you for the reminder that we owe everything good to God.
