Simple + Southern Sunday – Easter Blessings

~ Easter, Faith, Family, Simple + Southern Sunday

“Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28:1-3‬ ‭

“But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28:5-6‬ ‭

There in the ground His body lay,
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

A Friday To Remember

~ Easter, Everyday Living, Faith, Family

We are reminded daily that nothing will last forever. Time will take its toll on the very best of design, material, and craftsmanship. Natural disasters, accidents and sometimes intentional actions bring about heart wrenching, sudden changes that interrupt and forever alter the normal. We are all witness to that this week as unthinkable news rolled in from Paris.

Certain places have special meaning to all of us. Preserving precious memories is very important.  Losing something dear to us can bring great distress and sadness. Whether a structure known to people worldwide or an old family home place valued by a few, being unable to sustain and save is troubling. 

Places of worship have possibly been the most revered and sacred spots throughout history. Whether churches, tabernacles, synagogues, temples, or tents of meeting, those who gather are typically attached, protective and sentimental at the very least.

“We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.”
