A Smackeral Of Life

  As Mary Magdalene walked slowly to the burial place of Jesus, she recounted the last few moments she saw Him. Wrapped in linen, laying in a tomb. They did not have time to cover Him with spices, and with that knowledge, Mary had set out that morning to go and finish properly burying her Lord. She hadn’t slept well in a few days, and when she did sleep it was fitful and only brought nightmares. Flashbacks of Jesus hanging on the cross went through her mind, bringing tears to her eyes during all hours of the day. But, she really did try to be strong, for she wanted to help Mary, Jesus’ mother, stay strong too. The poor woman had suffered so much, watching her precious child die for all the world to see. She had faithfully stood at the foot of the cross, below her son, her own flesh and blood.

Hey guys!! This week I'm doing something very different, not only that, but I'm making this something different into a 3 part series!! So stay tuned this week for some new blogs!

They were used to the people by now, sometimes they would even follow them around. Listening to the stories told by their teacher, watching Him perform His miraculous wonders to those in need.        Jesus was an exquisite man. He had a way with calling people to Him and teaching them about God. The sick, the poor and the needy were especially drawn to Him. Seeking Him out day and night for healing that only He could give. Jesus was perfect in all His ways, and they counted...
