GOD first...Heavenly Father, help us to put away the wrinkles of sorrow, scorn, and hate with lines of happy smiles of joy and happiness as we celebrate in knowing that our Savior has been released from death so that we may also be renewed like Him through His sacrifice. We ask in Jesus' name. Amen.
**Two carpenters, Otto and Fritz, were nailing siding on the side of a new house. Fritz was taking nails out of his pouch one at a time and carefully examine each nail making sure it was the one he wanted to use. If it was pointed toward him, he would throw it over his shoulder and reach for another. This continued for several minutes before Otto noticed what he was doing. Curious, Otto asked, 'Why are you throwing some of the nails over your shoulder and using some of the nails to nail in this siding?'
'Well, it's simple. If da nail is pointed toward the house, I nail it in. If not, I throw it away.'
