~ Behold the Lamb of God ~

Hoping that everyone takes a moment 

 today to reflect upon the meaning of 

Good Friday....Behold the Lamb of God!

♦♦♦

Red is the color of the blood that flowed

 Down the face of someone who loved us so

He's the perfect man, He's the Lord's own son

 He's the Lamb of God, He's the only one

 That can give us life, that can make us grow 

That can make the love between us flow

Blue is the color of a heart so cold 

That will not bend when the story's told 

Of the love of God for a sinful race

 Of the blood that flowed down Jesus face

 That can give us life, that can make us grow

 That can keep our hearts from growing cold

Gold is the color of the morning sun

 That shines so freely on everyone

It's the sun above that keeps us warm

 It's the Son of Love that calms the storm

 That can give us life, that can make us grow

 That can turn our mornings into gold.

Brown Brown is the color of the autumn leaves

 When the winter comes to the barren trees

 There is birth, there is death, there is a plan

 And there's just one God and there's just one man

 That can give us life, that can make us grow

 That can make our sins as white as snow.

That can give us life, that can make us grow

 That can turn our mornings into gold

 That can give us life that can make us grow

 That can keep our hearts from growing cold

 That can give us life that can make us grow

 That can make the love between us flow.

I've been enjoying stitching on a fun little project

this week.

Here's the chosen linen...

Weeks Dye Works ~ 32ct. Confederate Grey

AND

Here's a little sneak peek....

The finish may not be what you're thinking!

Hope to have this all finished up for Monday's post :)

Look at what's back on the farm....

Growing up I always called these little guys Ladybugs, 

but they are actually called Asian Lady Beetles.

Living out in the country, if the surrounding farmers plant

fields of soybeans, these innocent looking little beetles 

become a farmhouse nightmare!

They love the warm brick on the farmhouse, if

 my husband doesn't spray the larvae early they will 

literally invade the entire farm!

There is a nearby Eagles nest that I got a couple pictures

of before the leaves fill in....

We've had the pleasure of watching these wonderful Eagles 

guard their huge nest, and they are back again this year!

If you look real close you can see just the top part of an Eagle 

head (right in the center of the nest).

Check out this magnificent Good Friday Sunrise...

Courtesy of my son Samuel. 

I can in~vision three crosses in the background!

Winter has come and is just about gone...soon things will

be springing back to life once again!

Good bye Winter and hello Spring!

~ Weekend Soul Food ~

When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of Glory died, 

My richest gain I count but loss and pour contempt on all my pride.

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast save in the death of Christ, my God;

All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood.

See, from His head, His hands, His feet sorrow & love flow mingled down.
 Did e'er such love & sorrow meet or thorns compose so rich a crown? 

Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were a tribute far too small
love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.
