Psalm 22:14-18 “I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart has turned to wax; it has melted within me. My mouth is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; you lay me in the dust of death. Dogs surround me, a pack of villains encircles me; they pierce my hands and my feet. All my bones are on display; people stare and gloat over me. They divide my clothes among them and cast lots for my garment.”

Hello dear one, my doggie-in-da-shades! How are you doing? So nice to see you as always! Big hugs to you (((HUGS)))! J

What’s been happening?


Click to expand...
I was going to say: "I will pray for this dog, it looks like he has a tick and he is confused." But then I realized how happy he is even as he flinches incessantly. If this dog can be joyful while facing disaster why can't I just pray his influence rubs off on me?!! In fact as I want to Cry for Jesus today, I am reminded by Him ( The Alive Him via the Holy Spirit), that I have my life because I Cry with Joy over His sacrifice. As I recognize that, He then smiles on me, as I get the revelation of wisdom from His calculated sacrifice...for what Parent wants their children to second guess a gift they give them? Not mine, and not me, nor my heavenly Father.

I remember when I was a child, I received money from my mom and I bought a hot-wheels splitting' image purple car for my birthday with it. Man was I pumped! And then my Grand-father came over and said is it your birthday? (As my mother whispered in his ear reminding him of the date), and my loving Grand-dad pulled out a crisp dollar bill and proceeded to ask me what I was playing with? As he was trying to hide within a storyline of humor from my possible indignation. I gave him the model number, the name, and the manufactures name, and the fact I had paid for it with my own money - (it was unnecessary for a young lad, such as myself, to identify the trail of monies led by the premise of my Mother first giving it to me at that juncture I reasoned).. He could tell I was pleased with it so he tried to please me with his late thought of a present coming to me in an untimely manner with his dashing charm and wit. He screwed up and now the cover-up as it were. He gave me the dollar and said, "Well, let's just say I bought that for you then shall we?"

I immediately, without conscience, insisted, "Oh NO, Grandpa - this I bought myself - your dollar will have to wait for something else." My Grand-pappa looked bewildered and astonished, and then laughed, saying to my mother, "Well then I guess the car was from HIS pocket and not mine!" The fact was, I was right, but it was also a fact that I was altogether wrong. My Grand father raised and gave to my mother, and in turn she gave to me as my parent, and my money was her money given directly to me without merit of earning it. It was simply a love offering by her. Yet did I note all those facts? Of course not I was 9 years old - silly! :p. But I notice them now!

Everything that is good in me is not me it is Christ in me! And yet it is me as well! I recognize the sacrifice represented today in the Good Friday notice as the gift and sacrifice of God and the gift and sacrifice for me in Christ Jesus; As the end of the beginning to my life, and the means to the end as my life. I must recognize my worth based on His presence, and then I can celebrate this day with Joy and Thankfulness based on reality and truth.

This extends to us as His Church (the body of Christ) as well, for we all are a part of each other and a part of the whole of His will as well. Let us continue to love on each other as He sees fit.

But truth be said, I am still going to pray for that dog! For he has blessed me as well....Lol. :cool:.And his tick is driving me bonkers ....Ok, I breathed - I'm ok! God Bless the Poodiddy!

Yet another Good Friday has passed.

Today was special. I have liked my routines in Easter. Last year my fosterchild was here. I miss her. I miss my son more. I usually fast and spend time with Johann Sebastian Bach this day. I miss the time when I served God with playing in Easter especially. But reading the Word and listening to St. Matthew or St. John's passion has become for me Easter. A time I have spent alone the past 11 years. My son went to his father when he stilled lived with me. Sometimes I prayed that a spouse would celebrate and commemorate Christ with me. That hasn't happened yet.

This Good Friday I had a good chat and prayed with a friend online. I didn't fast and Bach didn't do it this year. I have had some unrest lately. Somehow, and a bit random (but then nothing is random for God) the past three and a half years an just came to me. A turbulent time. A time with traumas and hardship. And I needed to pray. Pray to get free. And then I just felt at peace. Finally. Free.

So. Not a normal Easter. But definitely not a bad one.

Christ died and suffered on the cross for us this day. And by doing so we could be set free.

Good morning lovely – nice to see you. It’s about 6.00am here this morning – it’s Saturday for us here and so I’m kinda posting backwards about Good Friday for the benefit of our buddies who are not Aussie peeps! Thank you for sharing. I too had an enjoyable day yesterday and spoke to a dear friend of mine on the phone, who lives about 10 hours drive away. We prayed together and worshipped the Lord, among other things as we do when we get to talking. The Lord is good and His mercies are new to us every morning! An AWESOME day indeed. Some wonderful fellowship here too yesterday – we all spent yesterday delighting in the Lord together. Praise His Holy name! J
