Today is Good Friday, possibly the most significant holy day in the Christian Church when we remember Jesus's crucifixion on a cross in Jerusalem. What an appropriate day to write my Friday Fave Fives and recall the blessings of this past week. (The link takes you to Susanne's blog where you can read more or join in.)
1. Celebrating Passion Week and Maundy Thursday. Last night, we attended the Maundy Thursday service. It was wonderful and reverant and sobering and thoughtful. We sang, heard Scriptures read, took communion, and quietly walked out of the service.
2. Good Friday. My friend wrote this poem and gave me permission to share it here.
NOTHING BUT THE CROSS
No ground to stand on
Except that at the
foot
Of the cross.
No deeds to lean
on
Except that which
was done
At
the cross.
No light
dispelling darkness
Except the light
that shone
Through the cross.
No life to live
Except the life
won
By the cross.

Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday. SO significant in our faith. How blessed I am to have the assurance of salvation because of Jesus and what He did on the Cross.....I loved the poem you shared from your friend and all of the cross pics.
Beautiful scenery on your way home! I have a thing for arboretums!! Love visiting them.
that card is a gem!!
The pics I showed of the snow was not in my town..the lake ones....that's about 35 minutes north of us just as you're entering the Adirondacks. We only had 4 inches and it was gone by Monday hahaha
HAPPY EASTER!
Hi Linda, it is a special day. I will be going to Good Friday service later. I like the pictures you shared. I have a cross outside and I will add a red piece of material on it. Sunday, I will change it to purple. Have a Happy Resurrection.
Linda, I love the photos of all the different crosses. And the poem by your friend. Reading this post was such a lovely experience.
I've not been to the Blue Ridge Mountains. How beautiful!
Love the sentiment in your granddaughter's card!
Hi Linda! I love that poem your friend wrote, and all the cross pictures. Looks like you had a very nice trip. I love the fun card you got from your granddaughter! You and yours have a wonderful, blessed Easter. He is risen!
A beautiful poem to accompany your collection of photos.
Now that is a fun card -- glad your grands have such a terrific Grandma.
Love all the pictures in your post - I always seem to be rushing to get my post done and it's never very pretty. Love the card from the granddaughter - made me laugh out loud. Enjoy the rest of the Easter weekend.
That mill! I enjoyed all your “favorite fives”. Mary
That poem is lovely. What interesting places you got to visit on your trip, along with a beautiful drive. That card from PAL is just precious. A blessed Easter to you!
Haha! That is a brilliant card from Pal! Love it. Beautiful poem, too. What a wonderful Savior we have!!
I love all the pictures of the crosses in this post. The poem goes perfectly to remember all that Jesus has done. That drive certainly looks stunning. What a fun card. Gave me a good laugh.
