Without the Cross
Last week I was shopping in a local decorating outlet, checking out their new Spring accessories.
For several weeks, I've been looking for a cross to display, but hadn't seen one that was just the right size and style.
For several weeks, I've been looking for a cross to display, but hadn't seen one that was just the right size and style.
Then, I saw this one. It was perfect, just what I'd been looking for; so I picked it up and went to check out with the sales associate.
We chatted for a couple of minutes, and I told her I was so happy to find the cross because, I wanted to display it for Easter.
She smiled and said that she really liked the significance of the cross, because, "Without the cross, there'd be no Easter."
Her words rang so true and put things back into perspective for me. Yes, it's fun decorating with bunnies and baskets for Easter, but...if Christ hadn't died on the cross, we'd have no Easter to celebrate.
Wishing you all a joyous Easter.

Hi Babs! Amen! Only for the Cross! Aren't we glad Jesus gave His life for us! I'm so amazed, grateful and thankful for His sacrifice! God bless you and have a blessed Easter.
Be a sweetie,

Great piece, I very much enjoyed it.
I have a small collection of crosses that I display year-round and I feel like they keep me grounded especially when things get stressful.
Have a wonderful Easter.
What a beautiful post! Happy Easter Babs!
Glad you shared it again because I missed it last year. It looks so lovely with the lilacs.
Happy Easter!
Such a true post! Happy Easter to you and your family!
How true! Happy Easter to you!
I did not see this last year. It's so to the point, Babs. I hope everyone takes a moment on Sunday to remember the reason we are celebrating!
XO,

Happy Easter dearie! Such a heartwarming post! :)
Hugs,
Babs, I missed this post before so I'm glad you shared it again! Your cross and tray vignette is beautiful & meaningful! Happy Easter!
True dat! :-) I read another blogger's perspective on that earlier this week, Babs. She was pondering the celebration of Easter in secular and religious ways and wondering how, if at all, they might meet in the middle or if one supersedes the other. It was interesting to read everyone's comments on her blog, as it has been here. As a person of Christian faith who believes VERY strongly, it always warms my heart when we talk about this. We're Catholic, so a crucifix is displayed in our home year-round to remind us of how Christ died so as to save us from our sins. We keep crosses throughout the house as well. These constant reminders help us in our faith. The cross you bought is absolutely beautiful. (I've not seen white iron like that!!! Makes me want to break out the spray paint can!) Your sweet vignette is the perfect balance of religious and secular celebration. Happy and Blessed Easter to you and your family!
Your photos are really lovely but your message even better! Sending wishes for a very happy Easter :)
