“Good Friday – 2017”

Son obeys Father

Today, April 16, 2017 – Good Friday! This has always been a day for me to do a few things – just to let  our “Savior and Redeemer” know…  that I was sad regarding His dying on the Cross – but now…  through the years I am learning – just what a terrible trial and death  “HE” had  to suffer just  for my sins – –  from day ‘one’  to the last day of my LIFE! For  “HE”  to be such an obedient Son – He Loved His Father, so much and as our Creator – He wants all of His created peoples to be with Him for all eternity.

Today – it is easy to understand with the behavior of people and how we all break every commandment, so easy and so fast – as if we were programmed to do the worse  of all  – if at all possible – why we are all paving a  “for sure place” with the Deceiver and all his fallen angels. As you get older and can see how and what people are doing and that it seems that as the years go by – we continue on that very  “broad” road  – having so much fun – because our love of Earth and all the sinful pleasures are the only things we seem to care for and continue to chase after!

When we were KIDS in the Orphan Home – we had “FISH” on Fridays – we said the “Stations of the Cross” and between the hours of  “one to three” in the  afternoon- – – we did without talking and created neither noise nor any kind of disturbance – being ever mindful of the suffering of   our dear “Savior” – Today. As “ORPHANS” we did receive good and correct motivational learning – enough to last for the rest of our LIVES! I know that there were a good many  children around my same age… that did not want to be reminded that they were in the Orphan Home – – –  later  on in Life… long  after and  when they had left the place. It was to some the absolute worst of places they could have ever lived – – –  but this LIFE was not meant to be “HEAVEN”  for any of us.

Today, I still read the Bible in these afternoon hours – and some of the readings are on the Crucifixion – and when I remember back to when I was  a very young girl – –  – all I could think of then – is when can we get back to playing as we usually do? It seems  to me as a  youngster – –  that we read the Gospels pertaining to the Crucifixion – too much and  for too long a time! But only now … can I begin to really – realize how  “YAHSHUA”  our “Messiah” suffered for us – “ungrateful peoples” – we are really undeserving of all that He did to pay with all the horrible pain and suffering.  The Roman Guards inflicting this sentence out in the most brutal manner –– how cruel and inhumane – they carried out the misery  over and beyond what any of us mere  mortals would be able to handle.

I just do not feel that there could ever – at any time – ever be someone so loving as,   “OUR Blessed SAVIOR” to “OBEY”  His Father – to give His Life…  for all of us – that one day… we will enjoy Eternity – forever…

    Some time in my past, when everything wrong was my fault, my automatic thought was to somehow eliminate myself from this world, and quit being a burden to everyone in my life. I especially felt this way about my exes and my three sons. My first born, who lived in KC with his dad and step mom, quit seeing me for years, until he graduated college. My second son and I lived in this little white house until I met the man who was going to take over my life. consequently, he gave me my only baby girl child and we, later, had his only son, my fourth and final child. My point is, Jesus died for us, He became the ultimate sacrificial lamb. Therefore, for me to think that giving up my life might save everyone in my life, from being miserable, and improve their overall life, is a major fallacy.
