Agony In the Garden

Garden of Gethsemane

Agony's garden

While Peter, James and John slept

Jesus prayed and wept

~~~~~~~

While we anticipate the joy of Easter, we must also share in the agony our Savior experienced.  For it is for us that He suffered and died.  Only because of Good Friday can we celebrate our salvation on Easter Sunday with our Risen Lord.  

~~^j^~~

Happy Easter 

and

Thanks be to God!

Rivers Up

 For the last 3 weeks we've had nothing but rain, torrential rain.  There have been tornado warnings and sirens in the night.  My how our weather pattern has changed.  Today though it's a pretty nice day!  No more rain  until tomorrow.  Spring is here in southern Indiana.  That's life on the Ohio River.  It is a grand place to be.

Thanks be to God!

Holy Anticipation

Glory in the light

Wonder of our salvation

Glory be to God

As we begin the holiest week of the year on Palm Sunday, let us thank God for sending his Son to die for us and thus gain for us eternal life.  I have always loved this week of the year, even more than preparation for Christmas.  From Holy Thursday, Good Friday to Easter Sunday I have an opportunity to be with my Savior again as He journeys to Calvary.  He died and rose for me, for you!  Take this time to be thankful!

Thanks be to God!

Fixing the Mess

 I knit alot.  It's one of the things that makes me happy.  It's  comforting and relaxing (unless of course I have made a mistake and have to unknit it to fix the mistake.)

You've all met Simba.  He's a cat that is anything but lazy.  Unlike his sister, Nala, who is the lazy cat...also the timid cat.  She's  very relaxed all the time.  He is inquisitive.  NOSEY.  He likes to get into things. . .my yarn.  The other day I awoke to this. . .

So with patience (sort of) and perserverance I was able to fix this mess.  It only took me about an hour to remedy this problem. . .

And all the while "you-know-who "was sleeping.

Yep!!  My cat.  What a treasure!  

I love my cats!!!

Thanks be to God!

Pink Water Lilies

Lillies in the pond

Oh, so beautiful to see

Glory be to God!

When spring arrives, we always make plans for summer.  Well, mine are the memories of a pond we had with 26 gold fish and the water lilies when they bloom in all their glory.  It was easy to sit by the hour and rest in the peace.

Thanks be to God!
