A different kind of trip down memory lane today. I always watch The Passion on Good Friday - it powerfully reminds me of the price paid. A blessed day to all, reflecting about what was done for all of mankind.
Good morning, lysie!
A very apt breakfast for this important day.
The first, fourth and fifth stanzas of the old hymn “Beneath the Cross of Jesus” speak for me today:
“Beneath the cross of Jesus
I fain would take my stand,
The shadow of a mighty Rock
Within a weary land;
A home within the wilderness,
A rest upon the way,
From the burning of the noontide heat,
And the burden of the day.
Upon that cross of Jesus
Mine eye at times can see
The very dying form of One,
Who suffered there for me;
And from my smitten heart, with tears,
Two wonders I confess,
The wonders of His glorious love,
And my own worthlessness.
I take, O cross, thy shadow
For my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine than
The sunshine of His face;
Content to let the world go by,
To know no gain nor loss,
My sinful self my only shame,
My glory all the cross.”
My 50th was August 12, 1970.
I was 16.
He has always been so faithful to me, even when I was not to Him.
Praise God! He will keep us safe and see us through to the end.
Wow exit. NYC has come a long way....down. They wouldn’t dream of doing this today. In fact, they could very well find themselves in legal trouble.
Thank you. Won’t miss sisters as much. She bakes the best breads. Have a blessed day!
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
The emblem of suffering and shame
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross (rugged cross)
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
It’s shame and reproach gladly bear
Then he’ll call me some day to my home far away
Where his glory forever I’ll share
And I’ll cherish the old rugged cross (rugged cross)
Till my trophies at last I lay down
And I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
Amen!
Good morning, lysie.
Have a blessed day.
Continued prayers for dear Ryan and your sweet little family.
GOOD NEWS, freepersup. GOD’s not finished with you yet!
I can never finish singing that song at church.
No matter how hard I try.
Thanks for posting.
Yes, He will—He has promised.
The History of Hot Cross Buns
A popular Easter-time treat across much of the world, the hot cross bun is traditionally a sweet, spiced bun with a cross decorating the top. Whilst there are many stories regarding the history of hot cross buns, one, in particular, seems to be generally accepted. Once called “Good Friday Buns,” it is believed that a twelfth-century monk baked the sweet buns and decorated them on the top with the cross in remembrance of Jesus’ death.
Over time, the buns grew in popularity – so much so that Queen Elizabeth the First of England in the late sixteenth century decreed laws around when the buns could be made. The sale of hot cross buns and other sweet buns was limited to Easter, Christmas, and funerals.
These rules only caused the buns to be made in secret in people’s homes, apparently unable to resist the lure of the tasty treats.
Hope you can get whatever help you need dear Spunky.
Amen

“going downtown every day was my world for 30 years!”
That had to be fun - NOT! I imagine traffic increased over that time too.
Ok, this is weird. The doc gave me a antibiotic-steroid combo for the erosion. I know we’re not supposed to use steroids on erosions, so I called and asked. Got no answer. These docs invent things, research, use meds off label very often. So after I used one drop and the pain literally went away - I figured they were at it again.
I looked on the net to see if the 2 meds are used on cats. They are, so Roy got a drop this morning. He is now holding his eye wide open, whereas yesterday he had it closed most of the time.
I don’t know what this means or if I’ll continue to give it to him - not likely - but it’s interesting. Going to the docs in Nashville is always interesting, researchers have a different attitude than regular doctors. And I think we’re all test subjects to some level. Somebody called this doc a cowboy, now I kinda see what they meant.
