A Haven for Vee

Good Friday

For the past several weeks since the time change, we have been able to see something that intrigues us on every good weather morning when the sun hits the telephone pole on the lower road. Look at the following pictures and it'll become clear to you as well.







Truly, it's been quite an image to see a white cross of sorts floating in the sea of brown and gray branches. We won't be able to see it much longer when the forest greens up, but it has given me the opportunity for much reflection.

The word from Our Daily Bread this morning sums it up better than I could...

It is a simple thing to say that Christ died for the sins of the world. It is quite another thing to say that Christ died for my sins...

Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise! Rev 5:11–12

God bless your Good Friday!



One more thing, if you haven't had the opportunity to visit Sandi at Holding Patterns or Kari at Just Livin' Large, perhaps you'll check in today. You may know that Sandi is Kari's aunt. Doesn't it seem that things seem to hit families all at once? Anyway, you'll find both blogs in my sidebar under featured blogs.

  5. Thanks for the post ans I am so sorry for the loss of that lovely young woman's beau. She sounds like an incredible young woman and hopefully, she'll feel his arms about her forever. The angels will need to get her through this and be ready to back her up when she's feeling sad.

    Have a wonderful week-end and thank you for showing such thoughtfulness to all..

  9. Isn't that beautiful? It gives me goosebumps.

    Once the leaves come back on the trees, I won't be able to see the barn across the county road. It always makes me smile as it is a red building with a "shabby chic" weathered roof.

    I'll take the full forest, though. :)

  11. God delights in His children and gives us special gifts sometimes...
    Love the cross.

    How observant you are to notice it.

    I was here this morning and then took a tangent off to your friends links. How sad...what a loss.

  15. Oh my, how neat! It's amazing how it stands out the way it does.

    Thank you for the quote about Jesus dying for *my* sins. I so don't deserve it and that's the beauty of His gift. Thanks for blessing my heart with this post today, and very best wishes for a wonderful Easter celebration! :)

  20. Your pictures of early spring make me wish I lived in early spring country again. I miss seasons. AZ is just kind of all the same. Warm, hot, and hotter.
