Blessed Resurrection SONday!!!!!!

Good morning sweet ladies.............



John 11:25-27
I want to be a "Yes, Lord Woman!!!!!


This last week I have read and thought much about what Christ did for us. At the college where I bake I see hundreds of young people every day. I get to smile, talk and encourage them. Even though it is a "CHRISTian school.......many of the students are not. On Thursday I was overwhelmed with sadness. I ask the Lord for Him to continue to use me. That day as I worked at my station I quietly thought of the precious people I work with. They walk by my station and I can quietly pray......asking God to draw them to Himself.  I know I can trust HIM!  Every year Easter comes around I am more aware of the price He paid.........for me. Praying He will make my precious family aware. What a precious precious Jesus we have.......who if we ask Him to reveal Himself.......get into His Word He says we "will" find Him.

Luke 23:50 - Luke 24:12
Now there was a man named Joseph, from the Jewish town of Arimathea. He was a member of the council, a good and righteous man, who had not consented to their decision and action; and he was looking for the kingdom of God. This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.Then he took it down and wrapped it in a linen shroud and laid him in a tomb cut in stone, where no one had ever yet been laid. It was the day of Preparation, and the Sabbath was beginning. The women who had come with him from Galilee followed and saw the tomb and how his body was laid. Then they returned and prepared spices and ointments.
On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.


The Resurrection

But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared.And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb,but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel.  And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee,  that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.” And they remembered his words,  and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.  Now it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles, but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them.  But Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marveling at what had happened.



2000 years ago Jesus came........to make a way......for mankind who needed a Savior......THANK YOU Precious Jesus!

Heavenly Father.......thank You for providing a way for us to not have to live in our own sin, without a way of escape. You came......You died.....You rose on the third day according to the scripture and we thank You. You are with the Father preparing a place for those who want Your freedom in Christ. What a glorious day that will be when we will be You........for eternity. I ask that You would please come today and touch every sweet ladies life, the ones who come to PFF to read my journal. If they don't know You personally, let them know that You are ever so real and that You want to be a part of their lives. Draw them to Yourself. I love them a lot, but You know that.......the wonderful thing is that You love them more. You provided a way 2000 years ago......on the cross, dieing  in their place. Thank you that it is finished.....we can be made new, Your Word says, "if you confess with your mouth, that "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved". Thank you for conquering the grave!!!!!!!!! In Jesus Name, Amen


I awoke to 10 little baby chicks that have so far hatched! 9 little black puff balls and one little orange one (you can see it's head on the right hand side of picture)!

I will use the Resurrection Eggs (you can buy them here), to tell it. Poppa will read from the Bible........it will be a special day.....trusting yours will be also!!!!!

  1. I am reading a book titled. - Why Revival Tarries by Leonard Ravenhill. It is such a riveting book. And when I read this passage I thought of you!

    If we do God's work in God's way at God's time with God's power, we shall have God's blessing and the devil's curses. When God opens the windows of heaven to bless us, the devil will open the door of hell to blast us. God's smile means the devils frown! Mere preachers may help anybody and hurt nobody, but prophets will stir everybody and madden somebody. The preacher may go with the crowd, the prophet goes against it. A man freed, fired, and filled with God will be branded unpatriotic because he speaks against his nations sins, unkind because his tongue is a two-edged sword, unbalanced because the weight of preaching opinion is against him. The preacher will be heralded, the prophet hounded.

    .....The price is high. God does not want partnership with us, but ownership of us.

    Blessed Easter to you Linda.

  8. Thank you for sharing today. You really help me to start my day off right. God is supposed to be the center of my world and sometimes I awaken and the world is in God's place. That is not a way to start. So thank you for helping me to keep my perspective right. Your peeps are adorable. Wish I could hear their sounds. Precious.
