Thursday

Good Friday

This is my favorite Easter decoration. My husband made the crown of thorns from a vine on our bouganvillia bush. The old family bible is about a hundred years old.

This vignette is in a niche between our dining room and family room.



I received this nail on Easter Sunday at our church several years ago.
A message is in the nail.
This nail haunts me as I study it and visualize how the nails, which were much bigger, were hammered into Jesus' wrists and feet.
His love for us is symbolized in those nails.
He died for you and me.

Isn't it great to be a Floridian?

A beautiful post, Katherine ~ I saw one of those bushes in a garden shop recently, and it was gorgeous. I love that song on the video and am glad she can show the entire video now.

Hi-I found you through Susan at Penless Writer. I just had to come by and see the Orchid photos which I did, and they're lovely. I wish I was a plant person, but I'm not. So, I enjoy those who are! I also peeked on down and especially loved your display of the crown of thorns. We live in Phoenix, and we have several bouganvilla bushes in our yard, so I need to clip some vines and make a crown of thorns. God's richest blessings upon you and your family, and have a wonderful weekend! In Christ-Kathy
