today is an emotional day for me all-around.
first: it's Good Friday and as a Christian this is always an emotional day as i remember the sacrifice Jesus made for a sinner like me!
second: it's the beginning of Passover when Jews (and Christians) remember God's deliverance from slavery;
third: it's april 3, my best friend's mother's birthday. i love her very much and rejoice that she is alive. i am the first to say that i envy, very much, their relationship as i deal with the broken relationship with my own mother.
fourth: as it's april 3, it's the anniversary of MLK's last speech on the night before he was brutally assassinated. he's been a hero of mine for as long as i remember. this speech makes me weep and rejoice at once. "mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord!"
on this Good Friday we Christians continuously say, "sunday is coming!"
AMEN to that!
grace and peace and glory
