“Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”
He knew exactly where the road was
going to take Him, but yet He chose to walk the road. Now, this is
sacrificial love!Laurie, from Women Taking a
Stand who is hosting
TT for Iris ( Grace Alone) gave this topic of "Sacrificial
love "
And says : Jesus was not a victim
who was caught by surprise by cruel people out to get Him. He walked into the
death trap laid for Him fully aware of what was ahead. Jesus offered Himself
willingly as a sacrifice for sin.
"No one
can take My life from Me," said Jesus. "I sacrifice it
voluntarily." (John 10:18)
Today, I give thanks and honor to
the One who was so willing to sacrifice everything for a sinner such as
I.
How about
you?

- Palmsunday was Special my nephew did his confirmation, i met family members who i haven't seen in a long time. Hubby and son came a long to the service instead of going to their normally English Catholic Church and last but not least the choir who my dd is rehearsing with sang beautifull praise songs.....
- Today i wanted to get fed-up by physical problems but i realize this moment i must praise God instead because i know this is temporary.......I know He is capable to heal and get me through.....So i'm thankful for the healing power God talk about in His word and look forward to the day those physical problems will be gone...in Jesus name....
