Today is Thursday, February 26th, 2009; Karen's Korner #1520

(Please note no Karen's Korner next week; resumes Monday, March 9!)
 
As we embark on our 40-day adventure from Ash Wednesday to Easter, it's a good time to reflect on what Jesus' living and dying actually meant and means today.
 
We talked about that briefly at Sunday School on Sunday.
 
How does His life/death effect mine/ours?
 
This is a partial list of what was said:
 
* Our sins are forgiven;
* The world/cultures time/dates are marked by his life (years before Christ, after his death);
* He has given us hope and help;
* He sets us free;
* His death gives us new life;
* He adopts us into His family, we become His Children;
* We are loved unconditionally;
* He left behind His Holy Spirit.
 
The list could be long; we have much to celebrate at this season!
 
Dear Father in Heaven, thank You that you came to earth to show us how to live, how to love, and how to die daily to our own selfish wants and desires. Thank You that you left behind Your Holy Spirit which lives and breathes new life into each one of us every day. Thank You for Your hope. Thank You for Your help. Thank You for Your love. Thank You for the plan you have for each one of us. Help us to celebrate you. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
