The word...Oh Debby, I am speechless right now...... The words...the images...the song...all are humbling, inspiring, and touching. I am overwhelmed by the love our Saviour showed us when He willingly went to the cross...for me, for you, for the world. Oh what grace, what mercy, what LOVE!<br /><br />Dearest friend, thank you for sharing this with Roses of Inspiration. I truly NEEDED this right now...this very moment. Wishing you a blessed Resurrection Sunday. Praise the Lord for a living King! Love and hugs to you!<br /><br />P.S. -Your giveaway package was mailed off yesterday and should arrive in a few days :)Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02389136708128457239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869212964119628808.post-77476525149909041862014-04-16T12:11:00.583-07:002014-04-16T12:11:00.583-07:00I doubt you will even see this, but I am purely aw...I doubt you will even see this, but I am purely awestruck by the beauty of this post. <br /><br />I loved the part where it didn't look so large from far away but the closer you got, the larger it got. <br />That pretty much sums up my own testimony of salvation in Jesus Christ. The closer I got, the bigger that cross got. The closer I get, the larger it gets yet. <br /><br />Thank you so much for this beautiful post.

Your photos were lovely, and I especially love that you found this cross in a cemetery. The devil would have us focus on the *terrible* - the death of Jesus. And yet, the cross standing so tall in that cemetery proudly proclaims that death is not the end of the story. The beauty lies in the aftermath - the resounding Resurrection!<br /><br />The SON rose, and we will too.<br /><br />GOD BLESS!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869212964119628808.post-61116416255328048012014-02-03T11:03:38.098-08:002014-02-03T11:03:38.098-08:00Two sides to the cross story... joy and pain...

Since I posted this last evening, I had that song on my brain all night and all day today after posting this. when I first heard the song a while back, it took me a moment to accept the the word "terrible" in a song about the cross. But it is just that...beautiful and terrible all at the same time, isn't it? Now, I am hoping to sing the song at church....so beautiful.

But the second session just thrills me, and I think it's the power of creation vs. the power of the cross.<br />What a find...God knew he was going to give you a gift when you started out in your car. We just never know what it will be, do we? Always more than we could ask or imagine.<br /><br />Happy Super Bowl Sunday :)<br />CeilCeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293917798735764739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869212964119628808.post-12275508611772668682014-02-01T23:24:26.794-08:002014-02-01T23:24:26.794-08:00So beautiful!
