How often does Jesus walk with me, and because of the "weight of the world" that I have allowed to pile up on my shoulders, I don't even know He is there? More often than not, I am afraid! :(
The 2 disciples that were walking on the road to Emmaus when Jesus approached them were, I picture, totally down in the mouth, shoulders stooped, feeling totally forlorn and not knowing which way to turn now that their Leader had been crucified and buried! They had forgotten about Jesus predicting and talking about His demise AND that He would RISE again!
I can just imagine the look on their faces when "the light came on" and they realized the stranger they had been talking to was actually the resurrected Jesus! I picture them running as fast as they could to tell the other disciples that Jesus was, INDEED, Risen from the dead! HE'S ALIVE!!! They, no doubt leaped, cheered and jumped for joy the whole way down the road!
I decided to add this to the back of the "tip in" from yesterday because the words to the song, I can imagine, is what they sang all the way down the road! :) How excited they must have been! I know I'm EXCITED!!! HE'S ALIVE!!! ALIVE, INDEED!!!
Well, today is National Sibling Day, so thought I would share this one from around 1964. Please notice the EXTRA short bangs on me and the CROOKED ones on Kim! It's a mom thing! And my girls can attest to that fact! :D
We had our 2nd ladies meeting at church tonight! WONDERFUL turn out! 10 other ladies besides me came out! Thank You, Lord! We had some time around God's Word, learning some of the background of the book of Ruth (I had WAAAAY too much information for one night!), shared snacks, laughs and prayer!
Tomorrow we begin our Spring visitation at 10:30.
NITE!
