Most of you by now have figured out that my faith is an important part of my life. I just wanted to take a moment and mention how thankful I am for Christ's sacrifice.
I know that it's generally not considered politically correct to talk about the crucifixion, about the pain and the shame of it all. But it is impossible for me to truly revel in the joy of Easter Sunday, unless we experience the darkness and void of Good Friday. Today our pastor talked about the events of that day, more than two thousand years ago, when our world changed... and when Jesus said "It is finished", it wasn't a concession speech admitting defeat... it was a cry of victory.
It's only when you are immersed in darkness that you truly learn to appreciate the light.
Blessed Easter weekend to you all!
While I might not be a hobbit genetically, I do believe that I am one culturally. A homebody at heart, with a fear of (but slight craving for) adventure, who values simple things like good food, good books, and good friends. Chronicling the journey of the unlikely pairing of a Hobbit and an Ent, who have travelled down the road through infertility & RPL, toward building our family. We've come a long way, and now with two precious wee-lings in tow, our road goes ever on and on...
Happy Easter to you too, gal! :)
