“What is Easter?” Some may ask
in this world today
They haven’t had the benefit
of parents that do pray

This new generation
brought up just to think
Easter is for colored eggs
and bunnies that are pink

Picnics in the park with friends
watching children play
Parades in every city
floats are on display

Spring break is a focus
many often have
Some will plan vacation
visit mom and dad

All these things within themselves
are fun and bring us pleasure
Just remember Christ’s own death
for this is the real treasure

Christ was featured on display
he had his own parade
From bleeding wounds came colors red
that all the soldiers made

He didn’t ride on flowered floats
he walked alone instead
carrying his wooden cross
as his body bled

He could hear the ridicule
the screaming out of scorn
They said “yes, here comes the king”
a crown of thorns was worn

They nailed him to that cross that day
on a hill for all to see
They pierced his side and spat on him
took all his dignity

He could have called on angels
to save him from this pain
But instead he suffered
for the world’s own gain

Christ did know this day would come
the purpose of his birth
It didn’t make the suffering less
but he knew its worth

Christ did die..God’s own son
on Golgotha hill
On the third day after that
he arose yet still

His precious blood he shed for us
now cleanses every soul
All our sin is washed away
made clean and pure as gold

He lives! He lives!
As we will one day too
Death of flesh was not his end
it’s the same for me and you!

Cinderella is now 95 years old.

After a fulfilling life with the now dead prince, she happily sits upon her rocking chair, watching the world go by from her front porch, with a cat named Bob forcompanionship.

One sunny afternoon out of nowhere, appeared the fairy godmother.
>
>
> Cinderella said, 'Fairy Godmother, what are you doing here after all these years'?
>
> The fairy godmother replied,
> 'Cinderella, you have lived an exemplary life since I last saw you.
> Is there anything for which your heart still yearns?'&nbs p;
> < BR>Cinderella was taken aback, overjoyed, and after some thoughtful consideration, she uttered her first wish:
>
> 'The prince was wonderful, but not much of an investor.
> I'm living hand to mouth on my disability checks, and I wish I were wealthy beyond comprehension.
> Instantly her rocking chair turned into solid gold.
>
> Cinderella said,
> 'Ooh, thank you, Fairy Godmother'
>
> The fairy godmother replied,
> 'It is th e least that I can do.
> What do you want for your second wish?'
>
> Cinderella looked down at her frail body, and said,
> 'I wish I were young and full of the beauty and youth I once had.'
>
> At once, her wish became reality, and her beautiful young visage returned.Cinderella felt stirrings inside of her that had been dormant for years.
>
> And then the fairy godmother spoke once more:
> 'You ha ve one more wish; what shall it be?'
>
> Cinderella looks over to the frightened cat in the corner and says,
> 'I wish for you to transform Bob, my old cat,
> into a kind and handsome young man.'
> Magically, Bob suddenly underwent so fundamental a change in his biological make-up that, when he stood before her, he was a man so be autiful the likes of him neither she nor the world had ever seen.
>
> The fairy godmother said,
> 'Congratulations, Cinderella, enjoy your new life.'
>
> With a blazing shock of bright blue electricity,
> the fairy godmother was gone as suddenly as she appeared.
>
> For a few eerie moments,
> Bob and Cinderella loo k ed into each other's eyes.
>
> Cinderella sat, breathless, gazing at the most beautiful, stunningly perfect man she had ever seen.
>
> Then Bob walked over to Cinderella, who sat transfixed in her rocking chair, & held her close in his young muscular arms.
>
> He leaned in close,
> blowing her golden hair
> with his warm breath
> as he whispered...
>
> 'Bet you're sorry you neutered me.'

The Parrot

A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity.

John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to 'clean up' the bird's vocabulary. Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder. John, in desperation, threw up his hands, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer.

For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute. Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said,

"I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior.'"

John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude. As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird continued,

"May I ask what the turkey did?"

UNITED STATES MAP - Short But Good!

A father wanted to read a magazine but was being bothered by his little girl, Shelby. She wanted to know what the United States looked like.

Finally, he tore a sheet out of his new magazine on which was printed the map of the country. Tearing it into small pieces, he gave it to Shelby and said, 'Go into the other room and see if you can put this together. This will show you our whole country today.'

After a few minutes, Shelby returned and handed him the map, correctly fitted and taped together. The father was surprised and asked how she had finished so quickly. 'Oh,' she said, 'on the other side of the paper is a picture of Jesus. When I got all of Jesus back where He belonged, then our country just came together.'

This one is worthy forwarding.
OVER AND OVER AGAIN......
AMEN!!!!!

' HAPPY FALL TO YOU'

From one pumpkin to another!!!!! !!

A woman was asked by a coworker, 'What is it like to be a Christian?'

The coworker replied, 'It is like being a pumpkin.' God picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. Then He cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff.

He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, and greed. Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see.'

This was passed on to me by another pumpkin. Now it's your turn to pass it to other pumpkins.

I liked this enough to send it to all the pumpkins in my patch.
