Happy Easter!

My blogging journey is complete today.  Went to church and was able to have the whole family.  What a blessing.  This picture sums up the day...Faith and Family...

"The next day, the one after Preparation Day"

That's from Matthew 27.  Not much is said about the day after the Crucifixion.  I imagine this picture of the clouds would sum up the feelings of the early followers.  Christ said he would rise again.  The glimmer of blue behind the wall of grey here (to me) symbolizes how things looked.  Sad and grim but with a glimmer of hope for things to come...

 



Good Friday

I'm never sure what God is going to reveal to me or what it might mean.  Today I was fortunate to get a fairly decent picture of a male Northern Cardinal in a tree.  A common bird and a welcome bird for the color and song they provide.  I find it hard to get close so today was a good day.  But what meaning would this provide beyond enjoying His creation.

Later in the day I was reading through my bird book and went to the Cardinal page.  The name comes from the Latin word cardinalis meaning "important".  And there it was.  This is a very important day in the Christian faith.  Thank you Lord for reminding me of this.

 



What intricate detail goes into God's beauty

Tulips are a common sight this time of year.  The folks in Pella would like them to slow down and bloom in early May but that is out of our hands.   This flower is in front of my house.  Tulips are beautiful but upon closer inspection, look at the handiwork of our Creator!

 



Seems like a small thing

But this apparent act of kindness caught my eye this morning.  I'm assuming someone hung these keys up near where they found them hoping the owner would look in that area.
