It’s Friday again!
I know I’ve been away for a while.
I hope you will understand. I
got to spend a week with my family and I’m still getting back into the swing of
it all. I’ve also been typing my little
fingers like crazy getting ready for April.
My lovely Stitch Sisters (Becky, Stacey, Jo & Lizzie)
- my cohorts in blogging, teasing and general silliness – are going to blog
from A to Z over the month of April, Monday to Saturday, for 26 days! I’m not a big finisher, so this will indeed
be a challenge for me. Prayers and encouragement
appreciated. I hope you’ll come back on
Monday to learn a little more about me.
If you don’t want to miss is spine-tingling moment, you can just go
ahead and subscribe over there on the right hand sidebar.
For now I join with another troupe of word-winders and
story-spinners for a 5 minute free for all.
The rules are simple: write with abandon for 5 minutes flat without
looking back, go link-up with the lovely Lisa-Jo Baker, comment on the post of the one who linked up before you. I don’t mean to shout, but I’ve noticed that
some are ignoring this little courtesy.
Then just explore all the wonderful offerings laid before you like a
buffet of goodness.
Here are my five minutes on: BROKEN
That small white flake, so clean, so perfectly even: how
is it something so small, so seemingly insignificant, is the whole meaning of
the universe embodied? The tray, small and silver, passed from filthy, sinful
hand to filthy sinful hand.
It’s not the crumb.
In itself, it is powerless, not even enough to quell an aching
stomach. It gives no eternal life on its
own.
Oh, but that body.
They one that was broken, on rough wood and rusty spike. That body, bloodied and mangled, that is the
bread that gives eternal life. That body
is the Word that feeds us daily – for all eternity.
Time.
This is too important to leave at that.
If this is your first time here and you are
wondering what this is all about, know this:
Christ died for you on that cross over two thousand years ago. Like the thief next to him, all you have to
do is say your ABCs! A – admit that your
sins have separated you from God and that you are in need of forgiveness. B-
Believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the perfect sacrifice that can
remove that sin. C- Confess that Jesus
Christ in now LORD of your life. Please
let me know if this is something you’d like to know more about at amyctilson@gmail.com.
Bless you as we celebrate a risen Savior that takes away
the sins of the world.
He is Risen!
Awesome! I love the ABC thing! As a mom that is such a sweet and simple way to share the gospel with others. I am visiting from 5 minute fridays link up. God bless you on your journey...you can follow through on this with His help!

Talk to you again soon?
Absolutely. Let the new lives around you remind you of your own. Can't wait to speak again, maybe for more than 5 minutes. :)

ReplyDeleteThanks you so much. There's nothing beyond the good news that really matters at all.
DeleteAmen! Love this and how unafraid you are to share the good news of the Gospel. You inspire me :)
ReplyDeleteGirl, that was not me! I am weak and timid - these words came Someone else, my fingers were merely the conduit. :) Being used can be a good thing.
DeleteThe bread that gives eternal life- Amen, sister!!!
