Comment on Holy Week by sis

As I was sitting in church this afternoon, my thoughts would not stay on my Savior but
continued to drift to His Blessed Mother. She watched as her Son was brutalized beyond
all comprehension. I am a mother, and I have sons. I cannot even begin to feel the pain of Mary as she watch the joy of her life tortured and murdered. She must have found some solice in knowing this was all the Father’s plan, but yet she was a human being. There are so many facets to being a Christian and too many lessons for one lifetime, but today I felt a bit of what Mary means to us all and what unconditional love and obedience is.
What a sacrifice!
What a lesson! Happy and Blessed Easter

I loved this Cindy. I was actually thinking the same thing of letting go or not letting go this morning!! So when I read this it really moved me. I loved your take on it and I agree although we should be content in and every circumstance because God only does what ultimately is good for our lives, list just let go of worry but hold on to God through prayer and be filled with hope. He is the God of hope!

Thanks for your insight on holding onto God. I spent too many years holding onto my own understanding that my tight grip didn’t allow God to hand me something else of His design. When I finally let go of me, I landed in the palm of his hand where it was warm and safe. Why are we alway so surprised when He comes through for us? He will never fail us, so why are we so surprised? He’s only doing what He promised.

I agree, this is an amazing painting. The Executive Secretary at my office has this hanging in her office and when speaking to us she often relates things to this painting. I love it!

The concept 0f unconditional love is a difficult one to understand. I didn’t understand it when I was a child, but I do now that I am a parent. When our children do something that isn’t right, or they make horribly bad decisions, we still love them. They are ours forever and will be forever in our hearts. I struggled with this parable for years but I understand it now. God is our forgiving parent who, no matter what, loves us unconditionally. It’s a difficult concept, yet beautiful and awe-inspiring, as it is visually represented in this painting. Forgiveness is very difficult for all of us and we may not fully understand what unconditional love is, but isn’t it wonderful that someone feels this way about us?

Thanks for sharing the painting, Cindy.

Hi Cindy,
This was a very touching post. I somewhat have the same thing in my household, but as you probably no it is the opposite. I feel God gave me boys because he knew I would not be able to emotionally take care of a daughter because I never have had a mother/daughter relationship with my mom. I do know she loves me, she just can’t show it like your dad. I believe it was just how she was raised. Like you, she provided for me, but not on an emotional level. I do remember like your mom, that my dad gave Lori and a box of candy every Valentines Day, but it was he who did that not my mom. But she did that best that she could and still does the best that she can. It is just who she is. Keep writing you are always inspiring me. I used to think you and I were so different because you are so very outgoing, but the more I read what you write, we have a lot in common! Take Care!

Cindy…such a honest, and heartfelt post, I’m so sorry to hear your dad passed 8 years ago. What I remember about him was, right after that dog hit us on the 4th of July. remember it was you, Cheryl and I. I was beside myself not having ever killed an animal before, and my little white car was covered in blood. If I remember right, we were all pretty shook up about it…and then later when I was finally ready to leave your wonderful home (fully expecting to have to deal with that bloody mess), I walked out and my car was perfectly clean. Your dad had washed it. I am still blown away by that act of kindness…more than that, that act of Love. I wouldn’t be surprised if everything he did for your mom, you, your friends was him saying how much he loved you. You’re right he didn’t know how to tell you he loved you, but many times we also don’t recognize love when it is given because of expectations…Happy Valentines Day Cindy…I think of you often, and love dropping by your blog every so often. I have a blog also…and even though my life is so different now than yours, if you read it that the grass is not always greener on the other side. I believe now that I’m about to turn 52 in April that life was meant to be hard…that is when growth takes place.

Love You.

Nora
