Soooooo glad to see March arrive---I am ready for longer days,sunshine, flowers, and flip flops. For some reason, this winter has seemed especially long. It could be because we have had a great deal of snow for the south or it could just be the fact that I am ready for Spring as soon as Christmas is over. :)
With Easter just around the corner I find my mind wondering to the life, death, and resurrection of Christ more and more each day. I don't have children, but I can't imagine what it must have been like for God to send His only son to earth to take MY place on that cross. I fail Christ each day and I come so short of His example, yet he still loved ME enough to die for my transgressions. He carried that heavy burden physically, spiritually, and emotionally---He carried the heavy load so that our load may be lighter. He endured public ridicule and humiliation so that one day we may live with Him forever. He bore the stripes so that you and I might be healed.
I am so thankful it does not end there. It didn't end with a burial in a borrowed tomb. It was a happy, victorious ending! (yes, the kind fairy tales are made of) He arose on the third day! He is not dead--He is risen! He sits at His Father's right hand and he is waiting to hear from you each day. As we approach Easter stop and thank our Heavenly Father for the gift of His precious Son, my saviour Jesus Christ!
