good friday

 this friday

i remember

the love

that was shown to us!

He bore our sins.

This is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. 1 john 4:10

we are forgiven. our slates are wiped clean!

He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west. psalm 103:12

His love for us

 is amazing!

let's celebrate

because in the end-

we know

WHO wins!

oh, come let us sing praise to the King;

praise Him! 

friday & five things

happy friday!

this friday's five things

and the letter f

1. family

3. friends

letter e is egg-stra special :)

my alphabet challenge is
going great!
(posting every day with a letter of the alphabet)


the letter e

is egg-stra special
today
because
my youngest daughter
turned 23!

yesterday
her and i
drove to downtown seattle
and went shopping
and out to lunch,
 then we got a
hotel room...

we shopped,
ate,
laughed...
ate some more
and then
laughed some more!

it was a wonderful way
to wish her a
happy birthday!

i love the woman

she has become

she makes me proud

each and every day

to call myself her mom!

happy birthday tessa

you made yesterday and today

'egg-stra special'

this sunday

is easter (letter e)

it is so easy

 to get

wrapped up in the

festivities;

of eggs and bunnies

of easter egg hunts

and fabulous food...

i am thankful

that a promise

was kept.

that christ died and rose.

yes, thankful

indeed.

blessings this Easter!

Up from the grave He arose;

with a mighty triumph o'er his foes!!!

May you be blessed today

have a lovely Easter

and know above all else

YOU are LOVED!

*crafty oh so crafty*

oh yeah
just call me a crafty granny (giggle, snicker)
i have been working on a couple things
this past weekend
now anyone who reads this blog
KNOWS i am not a craft blogger
but, these two projects were fun
so  i wanted to share-


when 'the boy' was here
this past weekend
i made him a little tag blanket
because just like his mommy did
 when she was his age...
he loves his 'silky' tags and his lovey puppy dog (pup)
i thought it would be fun to make him
a little tag blanket
he calls it his 'star' blanket because
the flannel material is full of stars...

small enough for him to take when he goes to granny and gramps' over night!!!

then i got a bee in my bonnet THIS morning and made little bow-ties for easter for the two little guys

i have no idea what they are wearing for church, and maybe these won't go/match at all

 with what their mommies plan to have them wear

 but i made these none the less...

i made them out of an old, ugly pair of my hubs jeans...lol

i had fun making them, so even if they do not wear them sunday

it was fun to make them :)

and then of course i have to share this picture
i took it yesterday while 'little one' was here
the sun actually came out for a bit
and we went outside
saw the horse and the all the cows
and enjoyed some of the sunshine!!

today is good friday
we will be going to church tonight
to remember the sacrifice that was made for us on the cross
and then on sunday we will
celebrate HIS victory!


may you have a lovely day today and most blessed easter weekend-
