Resurrection Countdown - Day 7

3 Nails - "When we, as Christians, think of the nails that were pounded through Jesus' body into the cross, we should be sad about our sins. But we should also be filled with joy because we know we are given everlasting life through His death. He was pierced for us!"...from the Resurrection Eggs book. Today we read John 19:16-22 - the crucifixion of Christ. Our family thought for the day has been: Does sin truly make us sad? We have looked at areas again where we might need to repent and ask for forgiveness from one another and God. Praise the Lord that HE died for our sins and that we have been cleansed by HIS blood. It has actually been quite an emotional day in the Travis home. We have confessed to one another and prayed several times throughout the day. We have changed some of how we are going to handle family issues. It was hard to hear some of the things that were shared, but it was a blessing to know that everyone felt like they could be honest. HE IS GOOD, and I am trusting that the Father will do a mighty work in our home and HIS name will be glorified. If you remember us today, pray for emotional healing and that we will be bound together strongly as a family. He makes all things new - AT
