Yes, it was a terrible day at the time, but for the glory that came on Resurrection Day - well, it was all worth it! What love it took to accomplish our salvation. I am eternally grateful.<br /><br />GOD BLESS!<br /><br />(It occurs to me that it might be called Bad Friday now by the enemy of our souls?!)Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-79822706723524972902016-03-28T10:05:30.409-07:002016-03-28T10:05:30.409-07:00Hi Martha!

Sadness and joy, both mixed together. But now that Easter is with us, joy is complete. <br />Hope your Easter was filled with 'alleluia'!<br />Ceil<br />Ceilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293917798735764739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-16351284365250843332016-03-26T08:01:04.954-07:002016-03-26T08:01:04.954-07:00Yes, Vishnu, we do need to hear it and reflect upo...Yes, Vishnu, we do need to hear it and reflect upon Jesus' sacrifice all year round.<br />Love and blessings and Happy Easter!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-43018145959528198722016-03-26T08:00:19.089-07:002016-03-26T08:00:19.089-07:00Thanks so much for stopping by!

I have always related today good by recalling....the conversation that Jesus had when He ask those in attendance..."why do you call me good, there is none thats good." But in that day, Jesus made all things well, the ultimate good and faithful servant. Resurrected into new life, seated by the Father. And we see the face of God, He will extend those beautiful words. "My good and faithful servant." Thanks for sharing this well written piece. God bless you and your family always.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06651187441308630098noreply@blogger.com
