April....SPRING!
Oh, my....it's SPRING!!! I can't relate to you how extremely happy I am to be experiencing this time of year! Hubby and I have received both of our vaccinations, tax season will soon be over (for hubby) and we are planning to "hit the road" soon afterwards to visit with family and friends in other states! Can you get a little hint of excitement??
But even more than my over-the-top elation of Springtime, I am thankful to my Lord and Savior for the opportunity to celebrate the upcoming events surrounding the time from Palm Sunday to Easter...or should I say, Resurrection!!! It is difficult for me to watch, read or even imagine the immense pain and suffering Jesus endured as he was falsely accused, beaten unrecognizable and hung on the cross unable to breathe...dying as the only sinless Lamb of God for the sins of the world. I would love to share with you all I have learned during the past month as I have taught on the subject of prayer.
God has opened my heart, eyes and mind in ways I never saw coming and I've been a Christian for a very long time. It's refreshing to know that we are able to continue learning new concepts and truths from scripture we have probably read or had read to us numerous times. This was true of me during the month of March as I studied many hours to bring four lessons on prayer.
May I just remind all of you who are faithful to continue reading these posts that even though we become tired and weary of current events and all the evil intentions that are circulating our world and country today, God hears, He sees, He knows and He will bring mercy to those who deserve mercy and judgement on those who deserve righteous judgement. He desires for all of us to come to the foot of that blood stained cross and give ourselves to Him of our own free will.
We at The Whites' House will be praying for all of you and your families throughout this upcoming week. If there are family members that do not know our Savior as Lord, we pray they will make this most important decision to follow His leading. If not this week, then before breathe leaves their bodies. It's not a fairy tale, it's not a made up story, but the truth in living color....red. A Savior who willingly gave his life so he might accompany us, one by one, through the valley of the shadow of death to our victorious eternal home.
Blessings on a wonderful Easter month,
Gary & Cookie White

Palm SundayThought for the Day:
For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 KJV Palm Sunday is the celebration of Jesus entering the City of Jerusalem the week of Passover. Passover is a huge celebratory time for those of the Jewish faith because it is a time to reflect upon their delivery from the Egyptians led by Moses as they headed to the Promised Land. After being enslaved for 430 years by the Egyptians, the people of God were headed to freedom and the land God had promised to their ancestor, Moses. The night before they left Egypt God sent the final plague which would change the mind of Pharaoh to set God's people free. The Death Angel would Read more by clicking the button below |
