What Easter Means to Me repost 2011




The Last Supper, Jesus agonizes in the Garden, Judas Betrays Jesus and Peter denies knowing Him.
Jesus is tried, Mocked and dies hanging on the cross



this cross is in a sharp turn in the road and was put their by the homeowner as a warning. This cross made from reflectors and wood, is also reminder to us of the reason for Easter.

He Died for us, He Arose from the Dead and He will Return for us.

 1 Early on Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. 2 She ran and found Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. She said, “They have taken the Lord’s body out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”
 3 Peter and the other disciple started out for the tomb. 4 They were both running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 He stooped and looked in and saw the linen wrappings lying there, but he didn’t go in. 6 Then Simon Peter arrived and went inside. He also noticed the linen wrappings lying there, 7 while the cloth that had covered Jesus’ head was folded up and lying apart from the other wrappings. 8 Then the disciple who had reached the tomb first also went in, and he saw and believed—9 for until then they still hadn’t understood the Scriptures that said Jesus must rise from the dead.

Beautifully written, Sandra! That's one cleverly-made cross! I enjoyed your melding 'then' and 'now.'

Your sun picture is gorgeous! I remember the cross of lights! But in my memory, it was a stoplight With the thorny crown perched on it. Bad enough forgetting things, but changing them around is nuts... Will you both have ham today? After days of stress tornado dieting, I am determined to get back on my diet. You and I are very similar in weight.

Your pictures are so beauftiful. I find how you placed the Easter Story of Christ into the pics unusual. I believe God will have us all around after death. We just need to be better folks on earth as we live. Happy Easter.
