Tonight is Good Friday.. the day we remember when our Christ died for us..
there was nothing particularly spectacular about tonight's service.. the choir sang beautifully.. the msg of our salvation.. all quite predictable
i always think that there should be more.. something to motivate us to remember our Lord's suffering and the price He paid with His body and Spirit.. and how undeserving... but tonight something else moved me.. and i want to share it with you all
due to the sars effects.. the bread and cup was distributed by the deacons wearing gloves.. and one by one we approached the altar and cross to take the Lord's supper.. when i approached a song the children's choir had sang suddenly registered.. i was approaching the cross that Jesus bore and died on.. because of me.. yet..
"Jesus spoke the words of love
as He took my shame
'Father forgive them
for they know not what they do
Father forgive them'
Words of love for me and you"
that's only a verse.. but it made me imagine.. that even through all the pain.. false accusations that they/we put Him through.. for us He asked the Father to forgive what we were doing to Him..
no greater love does not just stop at His willingness to die for us.. but to love us even then and to speak up for us at that time..
i've been doing some thinking lately.. about many things.. how people see me
to many im just a happy girl smiling all the time.. sometimes naive.. prone to the random quip or joking comment
to those who relle know me.. know that there's more to that light exterior.. some actual common sense :) and can be serious too
but i realize that i do say a lot of light hearted things.. and a lot of meaningless things too..
we know that the tongue is "a world of evil" and can damage too.. i often dont realize the stupidness or irrelevancy of what i've said till it's too late.. till someone points it out.. or till i put myself in the same context..
and so if i've ever disappointed or hurt anyone with my rash and non-thought-out words.. i want to apologize because i didn't mean to hurt.. to poke or prod.. it's too late to take those words back and so i hope u accept my apology and that is all..
time to put some control back into that 'rudder'~
a busy weekend... studying?? noooo!!! cooking!!
i made dinner for my mom on saturday "
chicken in milk" courtesy of
Jamie Oliver.
yeah i know.. sounds weird.. chicken in milk.. but it was pretty good :) i donno about milk tasting chicken as that didn't relle happen but... at least the chicken was tasty :) and the sauce was pretty good too! u should all try it =) if i can make it.. SO CAN U!!!
on another note.. i made banana bread also for my mom (and her office mates IF she decides to share) =)
