It is Easter, I really like Easter, usually it is warm and we can be outside. I really like working this time of year too, all the cool flowers we can get in... and not to be left behind.... celebrating what my Savior has done for me!
Last night we held a Tenebrae service at church. Paul had set it all up with lots of candles and as we did readings and somber hymns we blew them out.
It was a powerful service, a time to reflect on what Christ went through on that Thurs evening and following day.
Most Good Friday services I have been apart of have tried to be somber and reflective, but have mostly come across as rejoicing and uplifting. It was quite a change to have quietness, blow out candles, have communion, and leave in silence and darkness. I really enjoyed it and the response from the group of people who also attended has been great too.
I look forward to Sunday's service to rejoice in the power and meaning of Christ's resurection! Oh, also to be a witness to Cici stepping in faith in Baptism... I am sooooo excited!
So it is Good Friday and I thought it would be fun to share some of the good... and bad that has happened today.
Let's start with the bad.....
Bad Dog Penny....
OK, enough with the bad, on the the good...
Penny met a "friend", a 10 month old Border Collie at the park today and they played HARD, then the actually met again on our street this evening, and played some more! She is gonna sleep real well tonight.
Another good thing, Gracie can ride a two wheeler bike now!!
She just hopped on tonight and went for it! She is very proud of herself and we are proud of her.
Have I mentioned how excited I am for her getting baptized on Sunday!! Oh, and to see my mom tomorrow, so excited about that too!
There certainly is more good in Good Friday than bad, how was your Good Friday?
