Whitney,our oldest dog, well, I call her my “girl” is sitting here beside my chair drooling over my bowl of mac and cheese. Not just any mac and cheese..Kraft Deluxe Mac and Cheese. Yep, there is a difference! I in turn, am drooling over this perfect Thurs. evening!

It’s 7:36 and we, meaning me and our “girls”, are sitting on our small square deck and I’m lovin’ that we have a lap top and I can bring it outside with me. The birds are happily serenading us with their lighthearted spring chirps, just as pleased to savor this perfect spring evening as we are at this moment! Even though we are in a subdivision we are still out in the “country” away from the hub bub of metro Atlanta where me and hubby drive in to work every day. The familiar sound of distant dogs barking and the basketball bouncing across the street as our neighborhood “Globetrotters” are serious about their game, are music to my ears.

Peacefulness, serenity…in my little corner of the world, yet tomorrow is Good Friday and I ponder the significance of the occasion. I may not feel this peaceful feeling in my heart and soul if it were not for the events that took place those three days so many years ago. I am grateful for the grace and love that abounds and gives me access to an eternity with my Creator because of the obedience of His Son who dwelled among us in the flesh, experiencing all the emotions we as humans experience in our lives daily. I made the choice to pick up my cross and join Him in His invitation of salvation……and you?

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:16
