Behold the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye of much more value than they? Matthew 6:26

Stricken, Smitten and Afllicted



On this day, Good Friday, I pray that all of us worriers can lay down our troubles for at least this day.  Surely we can say to our Lord at least for today "thy will be done".  Our Lord did.  

He went on a little farther and bowed with his face to the ground, praying, "My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine."  Matthew 26:39

Jesus struggled because He knew what fate awaited Him yet He willingly gave up His life so that we may have life eternal with Him in paradise.  On days like today I find it easier to put aside my momentary troubles and reflect on what great things await me because of what He did for me out of such intense love.  


Have a peaceful Good Friday and a wonderful Resurrection Day!
