Thankful on Tuesday

by ObtainingMercy, posted in Thankful on Tuesday

I'm thankful that Isaac's caregiver will be back tomorrow, after 3 days' absence.

I'm thankful for Overstock.com codes that save me $5 on my order.

I'm thankful for computer-printed coupons to Michaels that save me 15% off items already 40% off!

I'm thankful for businesses that do what they say they will do.  (Magazines.com did an automatic renewal on a subscription I ordered last year.  I contacted them, told them I did not want the magazine, and they refunded my full amount!)

I'm thankful for new business cards that shipped out early!!!

I'm thankful that, in one week's time  – if the Lord wills, all goes well with Isaac, all goes well with his caregiver, all goes well with me, and the creek don't rise – I will spend just a few hours with some lovely friends looking at a scene very much like this one, but in REAL life!!!

What a glorious day to be a Christian!

It's not just a holiday. It's Victory Day for us!

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, lived a perfect life here on the earth, died on the cross, paid the penalty for my wicked sin with His precious, holy blood, and then ROSE AGAIN after 3 days!

He was the God-Man, given by God the Father to fulfill a purpose that was settled before the foundations of the world. That purpose was for me to know Him as my Saviour, as my Redeemer, as my Friend.

Do YOU know my Jesus???

This is one of those "living is a small spaces" posts, as well as a "foto" post. 

When space is limited you have to be creative.  One of my creative spaces is behind the door. 

I have my exercise mat hidden back there.  (Yes, that means the door doesn't open all the way, but that isn't necessary for this doorway.) 

I also utilize the doorknob by hanging my "grabber" there.  This way, I always know where it is!

My final use of this space is for my purses.  I use a holiday wreath holder on the top edge of my desk, and hang my church purse and my shopping purse there.  I don't know why I haven't thought of this before!  It's a brilliant use of that hook that only gets used during one month of the year.

(Of course, I have no idea where I'll put my purses in December!!!)

I pray you have a good weekend, as you celebrate the Resurrection of our Saviour.

Romans 6:[5] For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
[6] Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
[7] For he that is dead is freed from sin.
[8] Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
[9] Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

Such a wonderful thing to know that as Christ rose from that grave, He guaranteed my resurrection as well.  He has given us victory over the grave!  Not only that, but he has given us victory over the curse of sin. 

I can live alive to Christ and dead to sin because of His resurrection!!!

Happy Easter!
