Good Friday

Good Friday. It’s a day that didn’t always mean much to me, but it does now. Thinking about how much God loved me when I didn’t love Him…it’s amazing. Friends, it doesn’t matter where we are in life. He loves us – whether or not we love Him back. It’s the real deal, unconditional love. We don’t have to be “worthy enough” to receive it and it doesn’t cost us anything. The price was paid that day on the Cross. So thankful for that. 🙂

Thank you, Jesus…just as I am, I come. Hallelujah, oh what amazing love!

Christmastime

It’s here! It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and it’s here.

I love Christmas. Everything about it.

So many good memories from being a kid at Christmastime. Now, my wife and I get to share those with our kids, and each other.

Last night, I had to stop and take a picture of the tree. There’s just something about the glow of those lights that brings so much nostalgia…in a good way. I could sit next to that thing all day long and be happy. Some Christmas music playing through the speakers – even better.

I’m glad our cross is right there on the wall, next to the tree. It’s a great reminder of what this season is all about.

Enjoy it, friends. Christmastime is a season like none other. All the best to you and yours this Christmas season.

Forgiven

Right now, people everywhere are carrying something with them that needs to be left behind. Maybe you’re one of those people.

Something you’ve done in your past, something you blame yourself for…something that has caused you unhappiness, possibly for quite a while, because you haven’t let it go.

Whether it’s guilt, shame, or regret, you are not allowing yourself to achieve your full potential right now because you have not freed yourself from that weight on your shoulders.

If this is you, I want you to know you have company. I can’t even count the number of times I have kept things with me that simply didn’t need to be with me anymore.
