good friday, indeed!

today, we are praising God for the gift of Jesus' sacrifice for us! that friday didn't seem so good to Jesus' friends when He was hanging on the cross... but OH! it was a good day! it was the day that He took our burdens, the day He who knew no sin bore all of our sins on the cross.

one of my favorite children's praise and worship songs expresses the joy of good friday... here is the first verse, then click on the video to hear my kiddos and their friends sing the rest.

who can say, "i have made my heart pure, i am clean from my sin?"
no one's blameless in God's holy eyes...that's why the Savior came....


what a reason to rejoice! we look forward to celebrating our risen Savior this weekend! we're kicking off tomorrow with one of my favorite easter traditions.... i can't wait to make resurrection rolls in the morning with the kids!
