From Good Friday to Easter Sunday… I pray you all have a Blessed, Joyful Easter Weekend! Hallelujah! Jesus is Risen!


"On that first Easter morning, God filled the earth with hope so real, joy so pure, and love so true - our hearts still rejoice today!"


"Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling for you and for me;
See, on the portals He’s waiting and watching,
Watching for you and for me.

Come home, come home,
You who are weary, come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!"

Please watch this lovely rendition of Carrie Underwood singing the beautiful hymn "Softly and Tenderly" last year at the CMA awards show. I pray it touches your heart ~ as it has mine...



Softly and tenderly... Jesus is awaiting us all to accept His Son as our Savior and come home - one day. For all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory, but God gave us a great, amazing gift, His Son, Jesus, who died upon the cross for our sins. All we have to do is repent of our sins and believe in our hearts and God does all the rest... He washes us white as snow!

Happy Easter to You All!!!
Blessings to You... Each and Everyone!!! Net

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead."
~ 1 Peter 1:3

  9. I was just thinking, Hallmark has lots of Christmas and other Holiday movies, it's too bad they've never done something for Easter.
