Hey y'all

Here is the bulletin board I put up for Easter.  Sorry it's late, but it the truth is the same either way.

Not only did Jesus die for my sins, but He arose!  If He hadn't risen, Salvation would not be possible.  

Hallelujah, Christ arose!

Hope y'all had a Happy Easter!  

 

 

I love the song "Because He Loved Me".  That's where I got the idea for the bulletin board. 
Here are the lyrics: 

"Because He Loved Me"
verse 1
On a hill called Calvary, Jesus my Lord suffered for me.
Carried the cross all the way my sins to atone.
Then they nailed Him to a cross, great was the pain and the loss
He suffered it all, Because He loved me. 

chorus
Because He loved me, my Saviour died, on the cross was crucified
No greater love for mortal man has ever been known.
Oh praise His dear name, He loved me so,
now I am His, He's mine I know
He suffered it all, Because He loved me.

verse 2
 Then they carried Him away, placed Him in a lonely grave
Surely they thought that this would be the end of this man.
But on that third and glorious day,
God came and rolled the stone away,
He rose from the dead Because He loved me

Thank God, Jesus loves US! 
Have a great day y'all!
SMILE, GOD LOVES YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5 FAVORITE THINGS THIS WEEK!  

"I simply remember my favorite things and then I don't feel, so bad!"

So, here are a few of our favorite things: 

 

1.  Easter and the great day we had at Church! (No.  Snoopy wasn't there. :/ )

 

2.  Family Reunion on Sunday afternoon!

  

3.  The Giants winning their first 2 out of 3 games against the Dodgers!  (If you're a Dodgers fan, we can still be friends. I won't hold it against you! ) :)

  

4.  Wal*Mart gift card from my Secret Sister for Easter!

 

5.  Been staying pretty consistent with my exercises!  That's always a good thing! :)

What have you enjoyed this week? We'd love if you'd share it with us!
 

Happy weekend y'all!

SMILE, GOD LOVES YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Hey y'all,
We trust everyone had a great Easter.  We sure did, even though it was one of the gloomiest Easter's (weather wise -rained all day), we ever remember.  But, the non-gloomy part was remembering what Easter is all about...Jesus' Resurrection! 
God blessed us with a great day at Church.  Since it rained, we had to have our Easter Egg Hunt, with the youth, in the Fellowship Hall.  Not as exciting as outside, but it was fun!
We then went to a Family Reunion!  Those are always fun!  We were a little late though, like 1 1/2 hrs. late, but there was still food left!  That never happens!  :)
That night we went back to Church and had the Lord's Supper, as well as our regular Church service.

How was your Easter?

Changing the subject.....
We're going to start up our "Truly Blessed Tuesday's" again.  We are, however, going to make some changes.  Each week we will list 5 things that we're thankful for and they will all start with the same letter.
EXAMPLE:  "H": Heaven, hair, health, happiness, home.
Some weeks we may change it up a bit, but you get the idea. 
 
We would love for you to join us.  You can either write a post about it and link up, or leave your list in a comment.
Please spread the word!  Let's all count our blessings together and praise the Lord for them! :)
Here is our "Truly Blessed Tuesdays" button:

John 11:25&26 
"Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:  And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?"

"Christ Arose"

Verse 1:

Low in the grave He lay,

Jesus my Saviour,

Waiting the coming day,

Jesus my Lord!

Chorus:

Up from the grave He arose,

With a mighty triumph o’er His foes,

He arose a Victor from the dark domain,

And He lives forever, with His saints to reign.

He arose! He arose!

Hallelujah! Christ arose!
 

Verse 2:

Vainly they watch His bed,

Jesus my Saviour;

Vainly they seal the dead,

Jesus my Lord! 

Verse 3:
Death cannot keep its prey,
Jesus my Saviour;
He tore the bars away,
Jesus my Lord!

Praise the Lord!  He arose!  We hope y'all have a Happy Easter and take time to celebrate the true meaning of Easter!  

God bless y'all!

Hey y'all,
Here is this years Easter bulletin board.  The idea that I had turned out better than the actual bulletin board did.  O well, the main thing is that HE AROSE!  
Have a great day!
SMILE, GOD LOVES YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  

I Corinthians 15:17 "And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins."

Hey there,
Just thought we'd share this Easter bulletin board with y'all.  This is the board that I put up last year.  Hope it inspires you and maybe gives you an idea for a bulletin board or decoration or something!
Have a great day!
SMILE, GOD LOVES YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Matthew 28:5&6 "And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.  He is not here: for He is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay."

Crocheted Purses

I made these purses for my Mother and older sister for Easter this year.  They coordinated with their outfits.  I think they turned out pretty well myself.  :)  Let me know what you think!  

This one is my older sisters.  Pink and Gray.

I stitched the pink with gray and the gray with pink.  This is a closer look at the flap and button.

My Mother helped me with the lining.  I can't sew, with a machine that is.  She pieced it together and I sewed it in the purse.  Pink and black POLKA DOTS!  :)

This one is my Mother's.  Yellow and black.

A closer look at the button and the flap.  Cute huh?  :)

Lined with yellow, black and white.  Yep!  You guessed it.  POLKA DOTS!!!!!!!!!! :)

Our Mother made these darling Easter baskets for the kids and some ladies at our Church.  Aren't they adorable?  Dixie wrote the names all fancy like and our oldest sister helped cut them out.  I helped stuff them.  :)  What?  That's the fun part!
