Tina,, thank you for this WE. It was a busy week for the Takenaka's, and I'm so glad I can come back and read the articles I really wanted to read, but couldn't this past week. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the winners!
I hope everyone has a beautiful Easter celebrating Jesus' resurrection!
Thank you, Jeanne!
DeleteMay your weekend be blessed, and be a refreshing opportunity for contemplation and thanks for he who dies for us.
ReplyDeleteAmen...
DeleteGood morning, Seekerville... and a blessed Holy Saturday to you! My rooster is crowing up a storm, which means my New York boys and two little grandsons are probably wrapping pillows around their heads and groaning right about now...
ReplyDeleteAnd tomorrow.... He is risen. He is risen, indeed! But for today we have the fun family task of making food, sharing time, and then the beautiful Easter Vigil tonight, said by our new bishop...
We are blessed to live in a country where folks can publish beautiful books like ours... and practice our faith openly.
Begone the catacombs!
I BROUGHT COFFEE!!!!
Congratulations to all of the winners.
ReplyDeleteTina, thank you for all of the informative links.
Ruthy, the PEACE IN THE VALLEY cover is so beautiful.
Wishing everyone a blessed Easter.
Thank you, Jill. We're going to the Easter Vigil soon and it's my favorite service of the year. So beautiful.
DeleteCongrats to all of the winners! Tina, thanks for another great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter everybody!
Happy Easter, Jackie!
DeleteGood morning, Seekerville! And may you have a VERY special Easter weekend...with time to pause and thankfully contemplate what the events of that amazing resurrection day truly mean!
ReplyDeleteI love this...
DeleteCongratulations to all of this week's winners and thanks to all of the Seekers who contributed wonderful advice. I would love to win Ruthy's new book. I learned the song 'Peace in the Valley' as a very small child and I have enjoyed peace in my valley for many years. I can claim that 'Peace in the Valley' because Jesus gave his life 'At Calvary' and now 'He Lives'.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend and Happy Resurrection Day!

Connie, I just love that hymn. I first heard it when Elvis sang it and it touched my heart. I've held it close all this time.
DeleteA blessed Easter weekend to all our Seekerville friends!
ReplyDeleteWe have made the journey toward Resurrection Day this Holy Week with moving worship services for Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. Our pastor's theme last night was nails, and each worshiper received a symbolic nail to hold and contemplate during the message and then take home as a reminder of what Christ suffered for us.
Looking forward to a glorious Easter morning and singing all those wonderful hymns and anthems!
I love that symbolism. We have so much to be grateful for.
DeleteGood morning Seekerville! Congrats to our winners! I'm looking forward to next week's lineup.
ReplyDeleteRuthy and Glynna, congratulations on the release of your books, early at that!
God bless everyone at Easter as we remember the sacrifice and resurrection of our Lord Jesus.
Hugs, Janet
I was so excited when Glynna spotted them!!!!
DeleteMyra, that nail, the symbol of all Jesus suffered is, is such a great reminder of how much He loves us. I think we have a hand-forged nail around here somewhere that I'll find, not as pretty as the secular symbols of Easter but oh, so important. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteJanet
Happy Easter weekend to all of you! I pray you have a blessed day tomorrow celebrating He is risen!
ReplyDeleteA blessed Easter to all of Seekerville!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the winners and authors!
Happy Easter everyone. Hope your weekend is extra special. Congrats to all the winners this week. Hoping to get some writing done as well as reading and hopefully some watercolor painting one of my new hobbies.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy painting, Wilani! I would love to try that sometime.
DeleteI just read Julie's InD'Tale article. That was wonderful, Julie. I loved reading it.
ReplyDeleteEncouraging Word of the Day from Klove Radio.
ReplyDelete"But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners."
Romans 5:8
Perfect words.
DeleteOne of my favorite verses, Mary! I have it scrolling across as my screensaver on my laptop. A humbling reminder that I'm a sinner who needed a Savior and Christ fulfilled that need out of His great love for me! Awesome <3
DeletePS April the Giraffe had her baby. Yes, I admit it, I've been watching!
ReplyDeleteOh good! I saw something earlier and was wondering.
DeleteI was watching for two months and missed it! But happy it happened so nicely!!
DeleteHappy Easter weekend, my Seekerville friends!! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat WE as always and CONGRATS to all the winners!

Happy weekend! Easter is the most meaningful holiday for me so I am excited to celebrate! Please put my name in the hat for Peace in the Valley :)
ReplyDeleteHappy (almost) Resurrection Sunday everyone! May you reflect on God's great love for us and Jesus's sacrifice for our salvation & freedom from sin! It's my favorite Sunday of all because of the special sermon the Pastor always has for us. I'm eager to hear it every year :-)

Blessings all!
