Last night was a special night. It was just me and Bo, my oldest son, so I decided to treat him to just some 1-1 hang time with his momma! Even 22 year old men like to know they are still special enough to have some momma time! Or maybe that's just this gal thinking that! haha
We went to see Source Code and then to eat at Red Lobster. It was during the meal and our chat that I just realized how blessed i am to have such an amazing life. Nothing I have is deserved; nothing is promised; nothing is given to me because I'm Trish; rather, the opposite. But God is sovereign and faithful and so dang amazing! Tomorrow is a special day for us as believers. He was brutally beaten, ignored, laughed at, mocked, and eventually crucified for YOU and ME! He didn't get mad when he was mocked, he didn't get revenge with his words or through his actions; he prayed to his Father for strength and wisdom and for forgiveness for those inflicting massive pain and suffering on him! Wow! That just really hits me b/c so often I get frustrated or impatient or think thoughts that are just not so nice and all because I have been hurt or taken advantage of? It's humbling really. The more I understand about my God and Savior, the more I realize my broken state and my need for redemption.
I hope you don't just stumble through this weekend without counting your blessings. No matter where you are in life...whether you are in the middle of a trial, on the tail end of one, or getting ready to head into a trial, God is good; He is faithful; He is sovereign and He knows the outcome. In the end, we WIN b/c we have been justiifed by the blood of his Son Jesus!
Happy Easter friends. Counting down the days until we run the race together at k2! Press on and run the race in a manner that honors and glorifies the Lord!
Humbly,
