Happy Easter have a fabulous weekend with family and friends! Hugs
Where did you learn this?
I was standing before the window of an art store where a picture of the Crucifixion of our Lord was on exhibition. As I gazed, I was aware of the approach of another, and turning, beheld a little lad gazing also intently at the picture. Noticing that this mite of humanity was a street boy, I thought I would speak to him; so I asked, pointing at the picture, “Do you know who He is?”
“Yes,” came a quick response; “That’s our Savior,” with a mingled look of pity and surprise that I should not know what the picture represented.
With an obvious desire to enlighten me further, he continued, after a pause; “Them’s Roman soldiers, the Roman soldiers, and,” with a long drawn sigh, “that woman crying there is His mother.”
He waited, obviously for me to question him further, then thrust his hand in his pockets, and with a reverent and subdued voice and tear-stained face added, “They killed Him, Mister. Yes, sir, they killed Him.”
I looked at the little dirty, rugged fellow and asked, “where did you learn this?’
At the Mission Sunday school,” was the reply.
Full of thoughts regarding the benefits of the Mission Sunday schools, I turned and resumed my walk, leaving the little lad still looking at the picture, I had not walked a block when I heard his childish voice calling, “Mister! Say, Mister! ” I turned. He was running toward me but paused; then up went his little hand, and with a triumphant sound in his voice and now radiant face, he said, “ I want to tell you: “He Arose Again, He Is Alive!” By R.A. Torrey
This wonderful story reminds me the Grave is empty, and Jesus lives and is alive today. I know that my hope, salvation and constant care comes from Him. He loves me, forgives me and loves me.
He is my security, He is Enough!
Happy Easter, He Has Risen!

Thank you for sharing your time with me today dear friend. What brings delight and Joy to your life?
Do you have a favorite Easter story?
I would love to hear your thoughts as we share our journey.
As I start a New Year, I like to take stock of the past year’s goals. Trying to refocus on what priorities are important to me in 2019. Last year’s list was ambitious, I became discouraged and felt guilty because I couldn’t keep up the pace, I had set for me.
This weekend is Memorial Day. And like you I have known many soldiers who have served our county. I love and honor each one. I often wonder what makes them sacrifice their lives or time for others.
I remembered many years ago; I tried
