{Happy Easter}
“With one sacrifice he made perfect forever those who are being made holy.” Hebrews 10:14
“Underline the word perfect.
Note that the word is not better.
Not improving.
Not on the upswing.
God doesn’t improve; he perfects. He doesn’t enhance; he completes . . .
When he sees each of us, he sees one who has been made perfect through the One who is perfect—Jesus Christ.”
“He has covered me with the clothes of salvation and wrapped me with a coat of goodness… ” Isa. 61:10
We are saved, not because of what we do –
but because of what CHRIST did!“Your love, God, is my song, and I will sing it!” Psalm 89:1
Wishing you a wonderful weekend~
amber.p.s. these pictures were taken as part of a fundraiser for a good friend of mine whose baby girl has a rare eye disease that causes blindness~

Have a Blessed Easter and may Christ who is risen from the dead fill you with life and healing to the inner most parts of you. I love you my dear friend.
Lovely pictures, good thoughts to remember. Happy Easter to you and your family!
What beautiful pictures! Great verses…love the thought of being made “perfect”, but oh, the cost for our Lord. Happy Easter!!
Happy Easter to you and yours! Thanks for the verses…especially Psalm 89 – one of my very favorites…vs 15-17a:
“Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound!
They walk, O Lord in the light of Your countenance.
In Your name they rejoice all day long,
And in Your righteousness they are exalted.
For You are the glory of their strength…”
The Lord is our light and our life, He is our righteousness and strength!
The pictures are adorable
Beautiful pictures! She is such a doll!
Perfect words for a wonderful time! He is RISEN!!
Hugs,
Lanitha

Hello Amber, Beautiful portraits of your little girl; she is such a beauty ( like her sister and her mama ). Good initiative this fundraising. Since I can’t donate from up here I will light a candle for your friends baby and these parents too.
Happy Easter Monday.

Another beautiful post! Being made perfect takes the exhaustion out of being a Christian, ‘cuz it’s not about us, it’s about HIM! I hope your Easter Sunday was beautiful!
No wonder my sweet wife likes your posts so much – very uplifting! Goodness gracious, that’s a great coat of you’re sportin’. Clothed in salvation you are.
What I notice in that verse is that we are perfect through Jesus blood, but then we are “being made holy.” That is the process He is taking us through in this life!
Beautiful pictures of Emma! How are you feeling these days? Is everything going well pregnancy wise?
Awwww…I had a rabbit just like that when I was a kid. His name was Blossom. I loved him with a passion. My favorite thing was dressing him up in doll clothes and pushing him around in a buggy. He didn’t much want to stay in it. HA HA
