What a Love …


Happy Thursday!


I am not certain anyone will read this - 

     But that is ok

I think I truly write for myself

Even still, I have not written in quite some time

     No time or need to go into why


But today, after working all day, I decided to relax 

So, I have been watching romance stories this evening 

Whether it is on the screen or in real life;

I love a good love story - 


There’s something almost magical about it

     Makes me smile every time 


And the celebration of one of the greatest love stories of all time takes place this weekend


Some of my coworkers are taking off work tomorrow

So, some took the opportunity today to extend early wishes for a Happy Easter. And that is when one of my coworkers sent this: ‘Chag Pesach Sameach’


I responded by wishing her a Happy Passover!


She is Jewish - and I have a Jewish Savior

So, we’re not that far apart when you think about it

She celebrates when Yahweh protected the Israelites by allowing death & destruction to pass by (Passover)


And I celebrate that Yahweh sacrificed His Son - and Jesus freely gave His life - so that death and destruction would by pass by all of humanity.


That is not to say that death and destruction do not still occur - but they have, from an eternal perspective, lost their sting


We are no longer separated from the Father. And, we have an overwhelming and empowering confidence that we shall be with Him forever.


FOR THE LOVE OF CREATION - 


God so loved the world that He gave;

He gave His only begotten Son so that whosoever believes in Him would not perish but have everlasting life. He loved us that much. With no regard for His own feelings, He gave His all, His everything - just so that we could be reconciled to Him; so He could be with us.


He wrote such an amazing love story

And He brought it to life through His Living Word, Jesus Christ .. so beautiful 


May You Have a Good Friday, a thought-filled Passover and a Blessed Resurrection Sunday!
