Good Friday to you

As I sit here early in the morning drinking my coffee having said goodbye to my husband as he goes off to work I realized that on this Good Friday we're on the brink of Easter. Easter is one of those times of year where twice a year Christians go to church, people do Easter eggs, and believe in the Easter Bunny. But it's not about the Easter Bunny or the eggs or getting all dressed up or anything like that it's about our Savior the one who died on the cross for our sins the one who rose again in three days someone who took it all upon Himself so we didn't have to. It's also about learning a time of forgiveness. forgiveness of people who have hurt you who've wronged you who've done things that have offended you, but it's also a time of reflection of our Lives.  I just want to encourage everyone to kind of Step Back From what they are doing for their normal right now and just reflect and look at their life and see exactly where it needs to go, our world is becoming a very very sad place to live, it's not the same as it used to be. The foundations that our country had been founded on his is gone by the wayside and it's scary but, there is one true hope, one true inspiration that we can grasp onto. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life John 3:16 one of the very first Bible verses that I ever learned one of my favorites. I'm not saying we're going to have a perfect world, I'm not saying that we're going to instantly forgive the hurts that have been done to us, I'm not saying that we're going to be able to just forget everything that has happened in our lives but, those are Stepping Stones those are ways to go towards a goal and it's not going to be easy no one promised life would ever be easy, no one promised that everything would just be perfect. I'm going through a situation right now where I live where I have provided something to simplify the lives of everyone around here and I've been taking advantage of I have been talked to rudely  and I'm tired so I've decided that I'm not going to provide that anymore it is an inconvenience for me but I'm not going to do it anymore. And someone got angry with me yesterday when they found out what I had done. they told me that it wasn't a very Christian thing to do and I'm not trying to do it to be rude or disrespectful but I told her I said even Jesus turned over the money tables and the temple and she said you're not Jesus and this is not a temple! she's right I'm not I would never claim to be and this is definitely not a temple  I'm not saying that I'm just like that or my situation is like that but even Jesus had a point where he said enough was enough and I feel okay with my decision yes I'm angry because of how people have disrespected it but I will get past that and I will move forward and so I'm reflecting on my decisions I'm reflecting on my life I'm reflecting on my situation and I know it's going to be ok. And there's been many times where I've had to stop myself and say what would Jesus do in this situation and I will admit that I haven't always responded the way Jesus probably would and I'm guilty of that but I'm striving to try to live my life the way Jesus would but, I am human, I do make mistakes and I do make choices that may not always be right. fortunately I have a merciful loving God who will forgive me and help carry me through the times that I can't so I'm thankful this Easter for God's love, for His gift for Jesus and I just hope that you guys can find Hope and peace and love and strength and joy in the situation that you're in I encourage you to turn to God get on your knees and cry out to him if you need to but there is hope happy Easter everyone!

That's My Thought For The Day,

Crazy for Christmas
