Happy Easter!
i am so thankful for what God has allowed over 2,000 years ago. He offered up His one and only Son for the world. every event from scripture has been flooding through my mind this past week and it has been very hard to pen my thoughts (well, type them out!!).
i hope i can do it better today.
this italian is allowed to be a part of God's family. He has saved, healed, delivered, preserved, renewed, washed, protected, disciplined, forgiven, taught, and loved me... M E ~ i am thankful!
triumphal entry; temple cleansed; signs & wonders & lots of questions; teachings; Mary anoints Jesus; betrayal plot; passover preparations & celebration; beginning of Lord's supper; denial prediction; the garden ~ Jesus praying; betrayal executed; the arrest; the trials; 3 denials; 1 freed; the beatings; the cross; the death; the sky & veil & graves opened; the burial; the resurrection; an empty tomb; His appearances; the great commission; and His ascension!
last night we watched "The Prince of Egypt" as a family. and i got a better appreciation for why God had His people retell this Exodus Story to their children every year. He sent His deliverer and he was a foreshadow of The Deliverer ~ The Prince of Peace. i have known this portion of scripture for 23 years and it still amazes me how fresh God can make it and the wonder full things He reveals!!
sisters it is vital to recall to mind all that the Lord has done for you as a person and what He has done for mankind. we must share this with our children as well. in all your celebrating take some time for remembering and thanking.
you are loved with an everlasting love ~ Laurie Kay
