Once again, here it is a week later and nothing new . Our life has been so hectic and there seems to be no end in sight. With baseball season here, and both boys playing we will be even crazier in the coming weeks.
So for now, I just want to take a moment a reflect.
I do not want to miss this Easter season. I do not want to get caught up in egg hunts, cupcakes and marshmallow peeps and overlook the thorns, the nail pierced hands, and the empty grave.
I want to immerse myself in Calvary and rejoice in His resurrection. In this moment, my mind will forget about the remodel, the clothes that need to be hung up, the grass that needs cutting, and the Easter baskets that need filling.
Instead, Lord, fill my mind with all that put Your Son on the Cross that day. All my own short comings. All my sins. All my denials. All my fence walking.
My idol worship that spit in the face of your only Son.
My pride that gambled for His robe.
My gluttony that pierced His side.
My anger that ridiculed Him.
My bitterness like vinegar to His lips.
My blasphemy like thorns around his head.
Oh, Lord forgive me. I am all of these things now, and I was all of these things then. You died for all mankind's sin, and yet you would have done the same if just for me. I am not worthy of your love, let alone your death.
May I honor you with my life, it is all that I have.
Thank you for your AMAZING GRACE, truly how sweet the sound.

Thank you so much for helping me to stop and remember. To take a breath and focus. On Jesus. On His sacrifice. On my freedom bought at such a price.
Thank you.
Bridget
