I Live Because Of Him!

Today is a happy yet somber day in the lives of Christians.

You see today is Good Friday.

Many might say what is good about Good Friday?
Isn't that the day when Christ was nailed so cruelly to the cross and He died?
And when I think about it...I too stop and ponder why it is good?

As doing so I am reminded that without Good Friday we wouldn't be
getting ready to celebrate Easter.  Christ's resurrection!

Because without what happened on that day, on that hill,
on that cross....life would not have the happy ending like it
will one day when we, Christians go home to glory and
sit at the feet of the man that made this all possible.

So why is Good Friday good?
Because of Grace.

Grace:  God's unmerited favor.

It is kindness from God we so do not deserve.
There is absolutely nothing we can do, nor have ever done to earn this favor.
Grace is a beautiful gift from God.
Grace is divine assistance given to us for our rebirth.
We are set apart; given the perfect gift from God.

God's
Riches
At
Christ's
Expense

Have a Blessed Day!

PeRfEcTiOn

What is PeFeCtIoN?? 

The dictionary says it is~

The state or quality of being or becoming perfect.

The highest degree of proficiency, skill, or excellence, as in some art.
A perfect embodiment or example of something.

A quality, trait, or feature of the highest degree of excellence.

The highest or most nearly perfect degree of a quality or trait.

Well I only wish it were that easy!!  

All my life I have been labeled as a "PeRfEcTiOnIsT!!!  Ugh!

It does nothing in it's self but to make life somewhat miserable.  

So often it is more of a hindrance  than a gift.  

I cannot begin to tell you how many projects have never gotten 

done simply because of being afraid of NOT getting it right the first time!  

One of two things will happen simply because I DO NOT want to have to do it over again....One I will procrastinate so long until I cannot procrastinate a moment longer.  Or two I will not do it at all!

I am slowly learning that it is okay to try things one way and if they happen to work GREAT!

And if they work out NOT so great I can have fun doing it another way!!!

I do hope there are others out there much like myself and we can collaborate and learn from one another how to be PeRfEcT even UpSiDe DoWn!!!

Blessings to You!
