Today, I am thankful for my salvation. You can read my testimony here. I certainly don't deserve forgiveness, but I'm so thankful that God offered it freely to me (and to anyone who will accept it!) I am so thankful that Jesus was willing to leave Heaven for me. I am thankful for His willingness to die on the Cross and take my punishment. He loved me so much that if I was the only human being in the world, He would have still died in my place! I am thankful that Jesus did not stay dead, but on Sunday morning, Jesus arose from the dead and came out of that tomb!
Last night, our pastor showed some pictures he had taken on his recent trip to Israel. WOW! They were amazing, and he did such a good job with all the history and explaining things...Anyway, he took a picture of the place where historians believe that Jesus was buried. Tests have been run in that tomb, and they have discovered that nothing has ever decayed in that tomb! HALLELUJAH! Just across from the tomb, a tree (approximately 200 years old) has been growing, nothing has ever been done to the tree, and it is shaped like a cross! Amazing!
GOD IS SO GOOD!
God is so good,
God is so good,
God is so good,
He's so good to me!
He cares for me,
He cares for me,
He cares for me,
He's so good to me!
He answers prayer,
He answers prayer,
He answers prayer,
He's so good to me!
He died for me,
He died for me,
He died for me,
He's so good to me!
He's coming soon,
He's coming soon,
He's coming soon,
He's so good to me!
***One final thought***Pastor's tour guide told the group that all the pieces for the Temple are built and ready. They're just waiting....
JESUS IS COMING SOON!

I also enjoyed the part about the tour guide stating that before coming to Israel you read the Bible in Black and White, but after seeing the land you now see the Bible in Color. Just seeing the pictures with the narratives and Bible verses to back it up, who cannot see God and His hand in everything. He controls it all!
God is so Good! I am so Thankful for my Salvation, my Family, my Church, and my Job.
Love,

The pictures were fantastic...and Preacher is so smart - how wonderful it would be to take a trip like that (any trip actually) and remember all the details and facts..to make the pictures so come to life for the rest of us!!
I love this post and that one day we will up in Heaven together praising our Lord...
Yes, I think we can feel the "birth pains" and know that Jesus is coming soon. What urgency that puts in my heart to make sure the ones I love are ready.
Yes, the cookies are the ones you leave overnight. My kids love doing these every year. I look forward to your Empty Tomb recipe.
Blessings...Karen
