Family Friday: Dedicated to this Glorious Holiday!

Good Friday.  What does that mean to you?  Some say a day off work.  Some say a day out of school.  I will have to say that I can tell you how I feel about this day, but I don't feel worthy to tell you, so here goes my version.  

Good Friday is the day we celebrate the Crucifixion of Jesus.  There is a song I typically sing at church around Easter - no, I didn't sing it this year, and may have to fix that when I go to clean my kitchen in a bit - called "Ten Thousand Angels".  I don't even remember where I first heard the song, but it touched me so much, I knew I had to add it to my small repertoire of songs to sing at church.  It was actually the first song I sang in front of the congregation at Bethel Church several years ago.  The version I have was made popular by LeeAnn Rimes.  I have learned a lot from the song itself, as I am not a very knowledgeable Bible person.  For instance, I didn't realize that God turned His head away, because He couldn't bear the sight of His son being crucified.  I cannot imagine, as a parent, or even as a child, making that sacrifice just to save others.  Many people take advantage of this gift given so selflessly, myself included.  I just ask that the Lord forgive me for all the times I took advantage.  I don't claim to be the best Christian, far from it; however, I do Love the Lord with all my heart, and truly believe I will be in Heaven one day!  

Here's praying and hoping you have a Blessed Easter Weekend. 

"Ten Thousand Angels Cried"
Stillness filled the Heavens, on crucifixion day.
Some say it rained, I don't know if it's true.
Well, I can just imagine ten thousand angels cried
That would seem like rain to me and you.
The angels all stood ready to take Him from the tree
They waited for the words from His voice.
And when he asked the father why has thou forsaken me.
They watched the saviour die of his own choice.
I've never seen ten thousand angels cry
But I'm sure they did
As they stood by
And watched the saviour die.
God turned his head away
He couldn't bear the sight
It must have looked like rain
When ten thousand angels cried.
As the sun slipped away
The skies turned to grey
And when Jesus gave his all
That's when the tears began to fall
I've never seen ten thousand angels cry
But I'm sure they did
As they stood by
And watched the saviour die.
God turned his head away
He couldn't bear the sight
It must have looked like rain
When ten thousand angels cried.
It must have looked like rain
When ten thousand angels cried.
