It's Good Friday!

This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24
This truly is a day for rejoicing in my home! We have been to many Dr's this week and have many infections running around our home, but with lots of antibiotics everyone is on the mend! And I only lost an hour of sleep last night. And we did not have to go to school, so more sleep was recovered! :) I am truly rejoicing in this day!

Then my soul will rejoice in the LORD and delight in his salvation. Psalm 35:9
But even more so this day CELEBRATES the saddest yet most wonderful event of all time! It was this day about 2,000 years ago that my Lord and Savior took the burden of my sins to the cross. It is because of this that and His resurrection that I do not need to fear dying and what may come of that. It is because of that I have forgiveness. It is because of that I have been redeemed. Thank you Lord for paying that sacrifice for me. For thinking I was important enough to be saved by you. Help me to not be fearful in spreading that message to people beyond my reach. Help me to teach my children what is right and what is wrong. Help me to lead them right to you so that they to can have redemption and a strong love and desire for you! my soul truly does delight in YOUR salvation!
