Morning, Texagirl! Thank you - always looking for something new in "red" since receiving the email about wearing red on Fridays to support our troops. She's such an elegant First Lady - in any color! :) You have a wonderful weekend, too!

Mornin' Billie.
Glued to the TV this morning. A CHP officer was shot and killed during a routine traffic stop this morning at 4:40 am. near here. GRRRR!

Good morning, dutchess. If I wouldn't have needed a second cup of coffee I would have been first.

Oh, Dave, how terrible! I hope they catch the one who did this - RIGHT AWAY! I feel so sorry for the families who lose their loved ones in such a violent way.

LOL! And if I had gotten this up before almost lunch time, somebody else might have been first. :) Hugs, you two!

"Daddy, I Found You!"

Read:
John 20:11-18

We love Him because He first loved us. —1 John 4:19

Bible In One Year: Leviticus 21-22; Matthew 28

In his book Jesus Among Other Gods, Ravi Zacharias tells a story about a girl who became hopelessly lost in a dark and dense forest. She called and screamed, but to no avail. Her alarmed parents and a group of volunteers searched frantically for her. When darkness fell, they had to give up for the night.

Early the next morning the girl's father reentered the forest to search for her and spied her fast asleep on a rock. He called her name and ran toward her. Startled awake, she threw her arms out to him. As he picked her up and hugged her, she repeated over and over, "Daddy, I found you!"

Applying this story to Mary Magdalene's search for Jesus in John 20, Zacharias comments: "Mary discovered the most startling truth of all when she came looking for the body of Jesus. She did not realize that the person she had found was the One who was risen, and that He had come looking for her."

We who believe on Jesus sometimes speak of "finding" Him. But why did we seek Him in the first place? Because, like the shepherd who went out into the darkness to find one lost sheep, God seeks us. He is waiting for us to realize our lostness and reach out to Him. He will pick us up, embrace us, and give us His peace. —Herb Vander Lugt

For Further Study
What is the nature of God's love, and how can we embrace it? Read How Has God Loved Us?

When we find Christ, we discover that we were the ones who were lost.
