Make Good Friday GREAT!

Well I hope your Good Friday is going well and that if you are working, you at least get off early! (Refer to last Friday's post)

Now, purposefully, I normally avoid political discourses and religious themes, and many other controversial topics. This is only because this blog is focused on helpful points and generally overiding principles, not because I don't have strong opinions and firm beliefs- I do!

So let's make this Good Friday great- and the entire Easter weekend a special one. How? Glad you asked!

First, let's remember the true reason for this holiday- it is the remembrance of the torture, death and resurrection of a man named Jesus- his life and death is historical fact; whether you believe in Him and know Him as your personal saviour is up to you. But, like most holidays or special historical markers, it always makes them more meaningful if we focus on the real reason for its existence and the true cause for our celebration.

Next, focus on family! Focusing on the historical meaning and the sacrificially loving cause for this weekend and conveying it to others doesn't mean we can't get the kids their first rabbit or take them on a fun Easter egg hunt or go picnic under a beautiful sunset! Jesus' love for others was unparalleled- providing this to the people in our life is a great tribute, I'd say, and will certainly take this weekend from good to great.

Lastly, believe! Hold on, put your guard down for a second! You can believe in Jesus as the Christ if you want to or don't, that's your choice. I do. My challenge to you is to believe in something- God, love, your country, or yourself- certainly one of these doesn't take the place of the other nor do they all have the same repercussions. But belief in something- ideally the right things, is crucial and is also fading too quickly. Like the old country song says, "if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything!" Figure out what you should believe in- what is important and everlasting, what is life changing and good. Then your weekend- and hopefully your life, will go from good to great!

I would like to end this with a Bible verse we probably all know- Christian or non Christian alike, which seems especially appropot this weekend:
For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believed in Him would not perish but have everlasting life. - John 3:16

Thanks for reading; until next Friday,
