oh and i should probably tell you about easter it was great it was a normal day haha but we did eat a lot we had two huge meals at members homes on sunday so yea it was great so that was my easter day haha :)
this was a poem sister Gelwix shared with us for easter.
Father, on this holy day
My thoughts are turned to thee
…so thankful for the glorious gift
Thy Son did share with me.
As King of Kings and world’s creator
I’ve pondered his last hours;
He humbly knelt and prayed for strength
To set aside His many powers.
They took his cloak and scourged his back:
Such pain and degradations.
The miracles they soon forgot;
Though He’ll reign and rule the nations.
In garden, trial and nailed to the cross;
He was left so all alone.
Forsaken, abandoned by those he dearly loved,
All to His purpose, just for us: To Atone.
The best thing then that I can do
And try each day to show
In giving love as He gave to others
And teach the truths I know.
I’ll follow his example
Of compassion; boldness too.
To understand and not judge others
Are things I’ll try to do.
My sincere hope and prayer is that
On some not distant day
My Lord, My Savior, brother dear
Will turn to me and say:
Come daughter, friend,
And sister too,
Come be with me.
You’ve proven true.
