On this Thankful Thursday I want to thank God for:
♥ The Cross
Before Christ's resurrection the Roman cross was known only as an instrument of pain, suffering, judgment, and ultimately a horrible death. However, today we know it to be a symbol of LIFE, HOPE, VICTORY, and a constant reminder of God's unconditional LOVE for the whole world!
♥ The Tomb
♥ The Cross
Before Christ's resurrection the Roman cross was known only as an instrument of pain, suffering, judgment, and ultimately a horrible death. However, today we know it to be a symbol of LIFE, HOPE, VICTORY, and a constant reminder of God's unconditional LOVE for the whole world!
♥ The Tomb
Before Christ’s resurrection the grave was known as the final chapter, the end of life, the end of everything. But because of the price that was paid on Calvary, we can now rejoice to know that beyond the grave is where LIFE that will never end really BEGINS. And we can say with Paul, “Oh grave where is your sting, Oh grave where is your Victory?”
♥ The Hope
What a God of Hope we serve! "Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we’ve been given a brand-new life and have everything to live for, including a future in heaven – and the future starts now!" (1 Peter 1:3-4 – The Message)
Wishing you all a blessed Easter Week as we celebrate the victory of our RISEN Lord and Savior – Jesus Christ!
Jesus, thank you for giving your life so we may truly be able to live. Thank you for the love you gave the world as you willing paid the price for us to have full access to the Father. Nothing now can separate us from your love, your grace, and your eternal mercy.

You are such a precious example of Jesus, and His love.
It's interesting how these symbols can take on a different meaning. This is a wonderful post for Easter time.
YES, SUSAN! The cross meant eternal life.. it meant no more sorrow.. no more pain.. no more suffering! PRAISE HIM, PRAISE HIM for all HE has done through the CROSS!

The cross, the tomb, the hope. Beautiful.
He is risen indeed.

Thanks for visiting my site and praying for my grandpa. I love the pictures in this post. Beautiful. Also, I borrowed the quote from Corrie Ten Boom in a previous post of yours, and stuck it in the side column on my blog. Wonderful words of wisdom.
Hi Susan,
Thanks for the comments on my blog today. Yes, Tonya is a really special person and I have never met her in real life. Since you are close friends with her, you must be pretty wonderful, too!
You asked me if the picture on my page is where I live. That picture was taken on a recent trip to Hawaii. I live in Georgia, so the picture is just my "daydream"! Hehe!
I hope that you have a wonderful Easter, Susan. By the way, your little granddaughters are beautiful!
Happy TT!

Love and Hugs..
I love that..."beyond the grave is where life that will never end really begins."!!! That applies to so much in our lives. Thanks for stopping by my place. It's been crazy busy around here, I didn't even get TT up this week. UGH. But you are ALWAYS such a great encouragement to me and make me smile. You're a blessing Susan. Have a great celebration of Easter!
Amen to that, Susan! Isn't it wonderful that He has conquered the grave for us? Amazing Love!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your grateful heart with us.
Blessings to you and yours - He is Risen!
AMEN!!! You put this so beautifully. I join you in having a thankful heart. Can't imagine what pit I'd be in without Jesus.
