Each one of us today represents the grace and the love God showers over his people.
This is something we all might ponder about for a few moments. Let us not forget that we did not show up here by mistake. We are here for the moment of truth, learning, and teaching.
It is a great day to remember Jesus came, he taught, and he confirmed that the God we serve is not dead.
A year ago some of my worst night fears became facts and reality. I never left the side of Christ, praying and crying, and sometimes even getting in his way. But all in all even with the pain that is still inside I have learned so much about how God works things out for the good of all, and giving each one the opportunity to give all the glory to him.
I now know that traditions have no value if the heart isn't behind the celebration.
I now know that death is not the end of everything, it is sometimes the beginning of a hard lesson you were meant to learn.
I now know that when we paint a mind picture that reflects what we feel and how we respond to others in a situation, it looks totally different when we paint our self in that very scene, and time.
I now know that to be free of your own past, you must free others of their past.
This is what we call forgiveness.
If this confuses you and you have no clue how to put your mind around this round of jammier. I challenge you to go back to a conversation you might have had about another and put yourself in the same time with the same events and what others would say about you. There are many times things look different when it is us who is in the middle of the happenings and we should willingly and passionately give grace and love in abundance. After all isn't that the lessons Jesus himself taught?
What past hurts are you holding onto?
What hurts have you caused that you have not yet found the right moment to extend an apology for?
What celebration or tradition was met with more importance on the food the presentation and less on the reason for the celebration?
Just a few things to think about, while going threw life's lessons.
May God bless you always.
About Me
- Barbara Holloway
- I married my hero from our military ranks, and together raised 3 beautiful young women who blessed us with 7 grandchildren. When I am not playing or running them to an event I am cutting and coloring hair at a spa in the Alpharetta area. My day is not complete until I have written a story about the events life has given me by way of our God. I have deep dreams of being a published author and one day help others through my life lessons better grow in theirs. I look for ways to introduce Jesus to others in a non tradtional way. I was born right here in the great and beautiful Atlanta Ga. where only a true southerner can express lifein the south with such grace and passion.
