I can't think of a better Good Friday post than to re-run this one from last year.
Jesus on the Cross
I've carried this little piece of paper folded in my wallet for 17 or 18 years now. It's something I treasure, even more at this time of year. My Girl drew it for me as an Easter gift when she was four or five - I wish I'd written the date on the back.
The thing I love the most about it is this: we had just talked about what a painful death our Lord endured. I couldn't help but notice that she drew Him with a smile on His face. When I asked her about that, she replied, "Mommy, He's smiling because He was glad to do it for us."
He was glad to do it for us. For you. Happy Easter - He is Risen!!!
Oh Wendy!
ReplyDeleteI love that picture. Isn't is wonderful that your daughter could articulate in picture and words why Jesus suffered as he did? For the joy that lay before Him - us! Little children have such an amazing ability to "get it" when it comes to the things of God.
Bless you this Easter morning!
Love,
Laura
