Who am I? A wife for almost 40 years. A mom for over 36 years. A sister and a friend, of course. Each of these help describe me. But, even more, I have been a Christian since accepting Him as my Savior when I was 12 years old and, this truth defines each area of my life. I have enjoyed some mountain top experiences but have been through some very deep valleys as well. Valleys of incredible grief and even pits of depression. However, most of my days are ordinary, routine kind of days. But in every one of my days, God has been faithful. He has walked with me whatever the day. He strengthens, comforts, encourages and blesses me with life "most abundant."

A favorite life verse: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10

Why do I write? Though not quite as private as my dad, I am definitely my father's daughter. I find it difficult to share. And to let others in. But I do love to write. I love to put words into sentences and sentences in paragraphs that help express my thoughts. I hope my words help me share my heart. Share the life that God has given me and all that He has done for me and through me. I write with the hope of giving Him at least a bit of the glory He is due.

A verse to guide my writing: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. I Peter 1:7

The Tomb was Empty!

Posted on By jennifer

Thankful Thursday…last night during my weekly class with the littlest ones at church, we had an Easter egg hunt. Goodness, were they wound up – I mean, excited! After they found an egg, they would open it and…the eggs were empty! I did exchange their egg for candy from my basket but not until we talked about those empty eggs….just like the empty tomb!

As a born-again Christian, there is nothing more wonderful than knowing the tomb was empty. How grateful I am that Christ would die on the cross as payment for my sins; however, if He had not risen from the dead three days later..it would have been in vain. This Thursday, I am so thankful for an empty tomb. Knowing that my Savior rose again gives me…..

VICTORY….Death was not the end of Jesus. Christ had victory over sin and death. As a Christian, I can also know victory – over sin and its weight of guilt and over eternal death/dying. I will live forever one day with Him. And, yes – Tyler was a Christian and has this same victory so I will be reunited with Him!! and many other loved ones.

CONFIDENCE….The Savior I love so much is alive! He is available to help me, comfort me, guide me, plead my case, love me, hear my prayers – and I don’t fumble through this life without purpose and protection. I serve a risen Savior!! Everything about my life is different because He lives!

Have a beautiful Thankful Thursday!!
