Five on Good Friday

1. What a blessing that we were able to remember Jesus this Good Friday with my parents. They read the boys the story of the First Easter. At the part where Jesus died on the cross, the boys, snuffed out the final candle of our cross-shaped candles.
2. We enjoyed Story Time with Ms. Dawn at Berean Christian Bookstore. This has been the 3rd Easter Season we enjoyed Ms. Dawn telling the story of atonement and Resurrection day. I pray that this tradition will continue year after year.
3. Sometimes the wishes we have for ourselves are a lot smaller that those God has for us.
4. Since the fall season, it's been a blessing to spend time almost monthly with Grandma, Al, Aunt Sammie, Uncle Mike, Aunt Cindy, or Uncle Don.

5. Although we missed my parents through birthdays (mine, Aidon, dad, mom), holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Valentines) --- they have returned in time for us to remember together the greatest gift.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. John 3:16-17 NIV
