The Wonderful Cross
Matt Redman

When I survey the wonderous cross
On which the Price of Glory dies
My richest gain I cound but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride

See from his head, his hands, his feet
sorrow and love flow mingled down
Did e'r such love and sorrow meet
or thorns compose so rich a crown

O the wonderful Cross, Oh the wonderful Cross
Bids me come and die and find that I may truly live
Oh the wonderful Cross, Oh the Wonderful Cross
All who gather here by grace draw near and bless your name



Today we remembered Jesus Death on the cross at our Good Friday church service.
Following the service we headed back to my parents for lunch - and the traditional EGG HUNT - even the baby got right into it, thanks to Auntie Ann who practiced with him yesterday!

We then donned our winter coats and went on a "spring hunt" (new life). It was a walk around the area looking for signs of spring. We didn't find very many! The snow piles are still pretty high.

What we did find:
- tiny shoots of green grass coming up underneath the protective bows of pine trees
- a few small, hearty flowers and leaves poking up through the snow
- lots of MUD
- people wearing sunglasses
- Roll up the Rim to win cups on the ground
- Did I mention all the MUD?
- Puddles of melting snow
- Bumble Bees
- birds singing
- ladybugs

Wonderful reminders that, though the winter was long, spring is coming... God is Good!
