The beautiful picture of
the cross at the end of the rainbow that you see on my homepage was taken today -- May 20th, 2008.
I saw this while sitting in the
parking lot at Safeway today and I’m so thankful that I had my camera with me.
While
waiting for my dd’in’law to come out of the store I started taking pictures with my digital camera.
The radio
was on and I was listening to the primary election results and discussion. It was discouraging to say the least.
When
I realized that the rainbow’s end seemed to rest at the base of the cross I was reminded that our hope lies only in Jesus.
What a wonderful God we have!
“It was
all about a cross….” These words to a song by Jody McBrayer started going through my mind.
“To Ever Live Without Me”
The choices, even though you
knew the lines
You'd have to cross for me
You made them anyway
Voices, as you knelt there in
the garden
'Neath the olive tree
You heard me call your name
I cannot pretend to understand
it all
But heaven knew the reason you
were there
Chorus
It was all about a man
It was all about a cross
It was all about the blood that
was shed
so I would not be lost
It was all about the love
That was bigger than a life
It was all about a freedom that
was given
through your sacrifice
'Cause you would rather die
than to ever live without me
Helpless, that's humanity without
your saving grace
So misled
Selfless, you could have called
ten thousand angels
Down to take your place
But you took mine instead
I cannot pretend to understand
it all
But heaven knew the reason you
were there
Chorus
A greater love has no one than
this
That he will lay his life down
for his friends
Chorus
God bless,
Barb
