Friday's Fave Five

The week hasn't been without its ups and downs, but I had enough ups that I had to trim the list to five favorites.

1. This week I had reason, yet again, to thank God for bringing us to a wonderful church family.  We've been here for a few years now, but I still marvel at the blessing.
2. My husband received some good news at work this week.  Thank God for His provision!
3. Our daffodils are blooming.  The bright yellow flowers make me smile.
4. This week a friend encouraged me, helped me remember what I like best about blogging, and sent me a funny email message. I'm so thankful for good friends, as well as the opportunity to be a good friend.
5. Sunday is my favorite holiday:  Resurrection Sunday.  Even though it's been years since I came to know Christ in a personal way, I still can't think of His sacrifice on the cross without getting emotional.  The gift that He has given me has changed my life in a way that nothing else ever has, or ever could. 

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!
