Good Friday = the day a long time ago that our Lord, our Jesus, the Saviour of the World died on the cross for me. For you. For the whole wide world! For all those who receive the free gift of eternal life!
This day is a special day that we reflect on the death of Jesus on the cross. No school. No work. Just reading and reflecting about Jesus.
After everyone was awake and Ashlyn had two over light eggs eaten, we sat down as a family and watched a kids movie telling the life of Jesus. It started with His birth and went through His miracles. His healings of the blind made well. His teachings and parables. Then it showed His disciples and the Last Supper.
We watched as Jesus went before Pilot and Herod on trial. Then crucified.
He died such a brutal death! One being beaten. Spit upon. Hair pulled. A crown of thorns smashed down, piercing into his head. He carried a cross. He bleed. His blood poured out for me.
BUT ... the story doesn't end in defeat! NO ... on the third day ~ EASTER DAY ~ Jesus rose from the dead! He arose!!! He's alive!
After the movie and some discussion, we made a big breakfast. Creamed beef, toast, eggs, bacon and warm pears! Yummy! Mike was off for some golf and the kids and I hung out here at home. Last night, we went to Matt Lapps and enjoyed pizza and fellowship ... in between caring for Ashlyn. :/
We've been slammed with a flu bug the past few days. Matthew and Ashlyn were taking turns throwing up. Matthew is better but Ashlyn is stilling having a major case of the runs. Poor girl. Please pray for her and for complete healing on her small stomach!
Remember the death of our Lord today. He died so that we can be set free from sin.
