~ Happy Resurrection Day ~

Made Alive

But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.  For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.  For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.  1 Corinthians 15:20-22

Mary Had a Little Lamb

Mary had a little lamb, His fleece was white as snow. And everywhere that Mary went, The Lamb was sure to go. 

He followed her to school each day, T'wasn't even in the rule. It made the children laugh and play, To have a Lamb at school. 

And then the rules all changed one day, illegal it became; To bring the Lamb of God to school, Or even speak His Name. 

Every day got worse and worse, And days turned into years. Instead of hearing children laugh, We heard gun shots and tears. 

What must we do to stop the crime, That's in our schools today? Let's let the Lamb come back to school, And teach our kids to pray!

Saved

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;  By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.  For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;  And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 1 Corinthians 15:1-4

Knots

Dear God, Please untie the knots that are in my mind, my heart and my life. Remove the have nots, the can nots and the do nots that I have in my mind. Erase the will nots, may nots, might nots that may find a home in my heart. Release me from the could nots, would nots and should nots that obstruct my life.

And most of all, Dear God, I ask that you remove from my mind, my heart and my life all of the ‘am nots’ that I have allowed to hold me back, and especially the thought that I am not good enough. Amen.
