Dear Ones,
Hope you are enjoying this Easter weekend. I feel so very thankful as I am feeling good again and was able to clean the apt and do food dishes for tomorrow. We will  be going to the Lake to be with Ann’s family and looking forward to that time together. May each of you have a very Blessed Easter tomorrow. 
Devotions from Judy’s heart
   As we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection, we also anticipate the glorious day when He comes back again. The song, One Day, came to mind often during this Holy Week by John Wilbur Chapman in 1910 that seems to describe the life of Jesus from His birth through the days of Holy week and then as we anticipate His coming again. 

    “One day when heaven was filled with His praises,

     One day when sin was as black as could be,

     Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin-

     Dwelt among men, my example is He!

                    Chorus

     Living, He loved me; dying, He saved me;

     Buried, He carried my sins far away;

     Rising, He justified freely forever:

     One day He’s coming-O glorious day!

 

     One day they led Him up Calvary’s mountain,

     One day they nailed Him to die on the tree;

     Suffering anguish, despised and rejected;

     Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He.

           Chorus:

     One day they left Him alone in the garden,

     One day He rested, from suffering free;

     Angels came down o’er His tomb to keep vigil;

     Hope of the hopeless, my Savior is He.

           Chorus:

     One day the grave could conceal Him no longer,

     One day the stone rolled away from the door;

     Then He arose, over death He had conquered;

     Now is ascended, my Lord evermore.

         Chorus:

     One day the trumpet will sound for His coming,

     One day the skies with His glory will shine;

     Wonderful day, my beloved ones bringing;

     Glorious Savior, this Jesus is mine!”

 

May each of us be filled with much gratitude and thanksgiving for all He went through for us and let us live each day with anticipation of what is yet to come.

Challenge for today: Spend some time in just thanking Him for what He suffered for you. 
Blessings on your Easter weekend and prayers and love, Judy
