Today is Good Friday, a pivotal day for every follower of Jesus, and a day that is hard for me to fully grasp when life is whirring along as usual. It's easier for me to get my mind around the immense sacrifice that Christ made at Golgotha when I get a little help from the weather.
A low blanket of slate colored clouds blacking-out the sun would be ideal for Good Friday, though I don't think I'll have that luxury today as the forecast in Phoenix is a sunny 90 degrees. Maybe the mental discipline of meditating on the crucifixion in the midst of the sunshine is exactly what the Lord is asking of me today. Maybe it's His way of reminding me to be mindful of His great mercy and love regardless of the weather and to be living a life of constant thankfulness in spite of it.
How about you? How do you prepare your mind and heart and foster an attitude of thankfulness and worship?
