Your post is precious, Meg...love it!
A real cutie, Beachie!
After the Easter eggs were located and the Easter baskets had been opened, Uncle Jay felt compelled to find out whether the white chocolate lamb was hollow or solid. Without thinking of the potential consequences, he squeezed the lamb. Suddenly Jay’s whole body stiffened, as if he’d ingested some paralyzing poison. Finally his eyes moved to see if anyone had witnessed the deed. His thumb, however, remained stuck in the side of the lamb.
We waited for the reaction. A wail. A howl. A cry of anguish over the crushed chocolate candy. As the adults in the room scrambled for words that would soothe the sorrow of 3-year-old Jenna, she calmly spoke words that soothed us. “That’s okay, Uncle Jay. The lamb would have been broken when I ate him anyway.”
While we adults tried to make sacred memories out of Easter traditions, a 3-year-old made a sacred moment for us. She reminded us that Easter is about the perfect Lamb of God, broken so that we can be whole. Her youthful wisdom reminds me of the words we recall at communion: “This is My body which is broken for you.” May we taste and see that the life He offers is sweeter than anything we concoct for ourselves.
Bible in One Year: Deuteronomy 13–15; Proverbs 27:15-27
Sorry, Dave, when I saw Cooper’s picture, I evidently mis-read the post....re: daughter’s Goldie. Sorry about that!
Good morning, jaycee
How are ya?
Dolly, I have been reading everyone’s post and I am more confused than ever. Maybe I got back on the computer too early~~LOL~~. I hate to bother Dave, but is it Cooper who died. After reading so many posts concerning this...I don’t think I have it straight. (Cooper was sick and died, correct?) I knew Cooper had been sick but as I kept reading...I wasn’t sure.
Wrote Dave twice and I think I will go back to bed! NOT!
Doing better today, Beachie! Thanks~~~
Yes if I am reading correctly (never quite sure about that), it is cooper, the pup of Dave’s daughter. I added to the confusion (what else is new?)
FR is posting very laborously for me so I am going to go do some more housework!
not much of a warm fuzzy , but that is what we have here.
Hi Billie!! What happening? I came straight to the comments section so I guess I’d better go and see what is at the opening.
I know its a lot of trouble, but it is BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you, Mr. Mayor, for our wonderful devotional. Isn’t it wonderful that He died for us but....HE AROSE! Hallelujah!
Thank you, (((Dolly)))I lost Sassy 1 at age 15 to this and I am so concerned..He is hanging in there but the outcome after the catheter is removed is a concern..This kitty is about 3...It affects males much more than females...I am going to give your hint a try nevertheless and pass it on to my daughter. My daughter is very picky about her pet food..I am very surprised that T was struck with this. He is the family entertainer kitty and much loved by my SIL, too.
By the way the “deluge” was north of me..I just got a nice rain..nothing like the Dallas area and points north
:o) Cutie!
I love finding the vintage cards..Thank you, (((jaycee)))..I hope you are feeling better.
Holy moly!
Looks very familiar Dolly, we had about the same amount. See if you lived on my street, I would have snow blowed your driveway for you.
Amen Jaycee....
Thanks Meg. I am some better but not well. Still having some shooting pains in my tummy but this happens sometimes. At least that bad part is over.
I was so sorry about your cat being sick. I don’t think I have heard about it before. Remember, my son’s cat just had to be put down recently....she was 17 and a real sweetie. It hurts bad, doesn’t it? Hope your cat can get well from this kidney problem.
