Good Friday and a Little Easter

Good Friday - "Stations of the Cross"

Our family has been attending Community Church for a little over a year. I strongly believe that the Lord has lead us to this place in our lives. On Good Friday, I had the opportunity to experience a walk through the crucifixion and the events leading up to Christ's death. Twelve "stations" were set up in a dimmed room, each with scripture and directions for thoughts and prayers. I walked through a candle-lit room, and experienced the Lord's Supper, accusations, the betrayal, the beating and bleeding, the crown of thorns, carrying the cross, the nails, casting lots, kneeling before the cross, the last breath, the tomb, and the resurrection. I must say that it was a moving experience, but also an experience that caused great reflection on my part. One of the stations required me to write a prayer, reminding me not to be self-righteous, but to live for Christ. I want to share it with you, as it has become a daily prayer for me.

Lord, in EVERYTHING,
let me look with Your eyes,
love
with Your heart, and
act with Your Guidance.

A Little Easter

We had a great time on Easter. Service was wonderful and so was the family time. You may have heard the expression, "The best laid plans of mice and men..." Well, I am VERY familiar with that one. I had my camera all ready for all the "egg shots," but I came up short. I do have a few pictures to share from Easter, though not all the ones I wanted. I hope you enjoy them anyways!
