There are not many FReepers saying to one another today:
"Have a Blessed Easter"
So, to All:
I hope you had and are having a Blessed Easter!
:-)
And the same to you. He is Risen! :)
I did have a Blessed Easter today. I spent it in the woods hiking with my dog. We hiked mostly in the water, which is really fun, and ridiculous exercise for both of us.
But a number of times I was struck by the beauty of God’s world. It’s just magnificent, and I thanked Him for giving me life and the opportunity to walk through with one of His wonderful dogs.
Thank you for the kind Easter wishes, I and hope that you also had a Blessed Easter.
if the thought came into your mind to post about this then you Are well qualified.
Blessed Easter to you too :)
Thank you. I also wish you - and everybody else reading this - a Blessed Easter
Have a Blessed Easter too - love Free Republic.
Thank you and we repeat the same to you.
This EASTER is a very special day this year. We’ve so much for which to be grateful.
REJOICE, “HE LIVES!”

May everyday be a bless-ed day for you and yours.
Me and the little crazy woman spent the day on spring cleaning chores. After which we cooked at pork roast and all the fixings and entertained guests.
Said grace and sat down for a meal with friends and family.
Nice.
Happy Easter!
The United States could never have been so founded without Christianity.
He's Alive! And I'm forgiven! Heaven's gates are open wide!
Well... due to deadlines, after a little time with my family this morning, today’s been mostly work. But by next Wed. I can hopefully take a little better break!
Thanks in turn to you all.
I’m watching “The 10 Commandments “ with some Jewish friends.
They laughed and said “Funny. You want to watch The 10 Commandments every year. It has nothing to do with Easter”
“Nope” I replied. “Moses frees the Hebrews and leads them to the land of Judah, Israel is founded.
Without the fulfilment of that prophecy, there is no reason for the next movie The Greatest Story Every Told, the greatest of prophecies to all mankind”
10 Commandments is Easter and my favorite Epic of all time.
Happy Easter...and Happy Passover...
Happy Easter to you and yours!
Blessed Easter, Paul.
This is the most sacred and both simple and profound day in all of Christendom. What you believe about it will change you forever: after sacrificing Himself to die a shameful death on a cross to pay God's penalty for all the sins of mankind, He was carried to a borrowed tomb and there lay dead for three days, on the Third Day, Jesus Christ rose to life everlasting.
He was seen first by the women (one of whom was His own mother), He was seen by Cephas (Peter), then by the twelve and later by over 500!
These events were written down less than 20 years after His Resurrection and told again by Paul in his first letter to the Corinthians, chapter 15:3 thru 8.
The most important message today is: Romans 10:9, "If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe with your heart, that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."
Easter Blessings to all my dear FRiends.
I wonder if your Jewish friends know of the many prophecies of the coming Messiah.
I learned that most Rabbis never preach Isaiah 53, a very specific prophecy of the events celebrated this day.
Thank you for posting this.
I sincerely hope everyone had a wonderful day, surrounded by friends and family in the presence of our Lord and Savior, who made the ultimate sacrifice for us.
When I think about what He did, I am still in awe.
I guess that happens when you get older.
I found something on the Internet that I have on the fridge...
Something about a dog was accompanying God as He named all of the creatures.
And when God was done, the dog looked up at Him and said, “Is there nothing left for me?”
And God said, “I have saved the best for last. I will turn my name around and call you dog,”
I have had dogs all my life. They are amazing...military, police, bomb sniffers, helpers for the blind and disabled.
Makes me want to go cuddle my 2 year-old black lab. :)
Glad you had a nice day.
Allvthe best, FRIend..

Yes, I have seen that before too, and when I did it brought tears to my eyes.
In 2013 I had to put a German Shepherd to sleep that I had for 14 years. That was the hardest thing I ever had to do. It ripped me in half.
5 days later, God sent a dog named Isis into my life, and she healed me.
She is my best friend. I can’t even count the ways she has enriched my life. She seems to have a profound effect on others that meet her too.
She is the gentlest, kindest Shepherd I have ever seen.
She was a rescue dog. Someone had abandoned her, and she starved terribly.
I feel very sad for those people who did that, because she is a blessing from God.
To be able to spend Easter Sunday walking with her and Jesus in the forest and in the water was one of the finest days of my life.
Thank you, God.
Have a good and blessed Happy Easter season! Jesus is ALIVE!
