Good Friday

Today is was a nice day. The kids and I went over to my neighbor Priya’s house for playtime and lunch (she has two kiddos Emma and Levi’s ages). After that we did a bit of school beginning with Owen’s Math U See. He is totally PUMPED about math and it’s so cute to see him get so excited about it! I met my mom around 3:45 for coffee and picked up a pizza after for dinner (we love Papa Murphy’s). After dinner Desi and I gathered the kids together and talked about what Good Friday is. I read the crucifixion story to them from a kids Bible and we asked why it’s called Good Friday if Jesus died? Hope answered, “Because He died for our sins!” We sang a few songs, prayed and then got down to the business of decorating hard boiled eggs. This was our first year doing it and the kids LOVED it!

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

For my pardon, this I see,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my cleansing this my plea,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Nothing can for sin atone,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Naught of good that I have done,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

This is all my hope and peace,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
This is all my righteousness,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Now by this I’ll overcome—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus,
Now by this I’ll reach my home—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Glory! Glory! This I sing—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus,
All my praise for this I bring—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Thank You Lord for your ultimate sacrafice!
