Conor, what a precious picture! Thank you!
GRANNY'S GONNA RUN
Granny's moving slower, with each passing day
And it takes her a lot longer, to get up after she's prayed
But even though she's aging, her better days aren't done
Because when Granny hears that trumpet sound one day
Granny's Gonna’ Run
Granny's gonna’ run through the gates of Glory,
She's going to find her Lord and King
She'll be shouting round the throne with Grandpa,
Dancing on the golden streets
Her youth renewed like an eagle, In the presence of the Son
Granny may be old and feeble, but one day
Granny's Gonna’ Run
Sometimes, it takes a couple of tries just to get out of her chair
But one day, in the twinkle of an eye, she'll be out of there
Don't feel sorry for her, because Granny's gonna be okay
And when she hears Jesus call her home, You'd better be out of her way.
Well it's a bird, it's a plane, it's Superman up high
No, wait a minute, it's Granny, flying through the eastern sky.
Granny's gonna’ run through the gates of Glory,
She's going to find her Lord and King
She'll be shouting round the throne with Grandpa,
Dancing on the golden streets
Her youth renewed like an eagle, In the presence of the Son
Granny may be old and feeble, but one day
Granny's Gonna’ Run

Thanks for your compliment on the opening - your blue and charcoal grey graphic is so pretty! Hope your ISP is back up soon and you have time tomorrow to visit!
It would be a pretty painting - love the colors! I had an idea you had a hand in the colors. :)
Thank you, Meg - hope you can spend a little time here tomorrow. It doesn't seem complete without a pretty offering from Megsy!
Love that Granny and the poem is so very sweet, too.
That’s a very beautiful picture and poem. Great effect created with that frame.
The Scapegoat, a novel by Daphne du Maurier, is about two men who are amazed at the striking similarity in their appearance. They spend an evening together, but one runs off, stealing the others identity and leaving him to step into a life filled with problems. The second man becomes a scapegoat.
The origin of that word comes from a ceremony performed with two goats on the Hebrew Day of Atonement (known today as Yom Kippur). The high priest would sacrifice one goat and symbolically place the sins of the people on the head of the otherthe scapegoatbefore it was sent into the wilderness carrying away the blame of the sin (Lev. 16:7-10).
But when Jesus came, He became our scapegoat. He offered Himself up once for all as a sacrifice to pay for the sins of the whole world (1 John 2:2; Heb. 7:27). That first goat had been sacrificed as a sin offering for Gods people and symbolized Jesus sacrifice on the cross. The other goat was a representation of the completely innocent Jesus accepting and removing our sin and guilt.
None of us is without sinbut the Father laid on Jesus the iniquity of us all (Isa. 53:6). God sees followers of His Son as blamelessbecause Jesus took all the blame we deserve.
What a precious face on that little girl! She has her little blue Easter hat on and her bunny rabbit....yes, there is an angel in her pocket as it shows on her face. “I believe angels surround us many times.”
Lovely message, Mr. Mayor. The closer we get to Easter, the more beautiful is “The Word”. Thank you for jump starting our mornings. God Bless You and your family.
My pleasure Jaycee. Have a great day.
