Trey Tuesday - April 3, 2012

Trey says, "Don't worry!  I'm OK!"

Trey is our inspiration in so many ways!
Today's Trey Tuesday is a grown up version of how Trey lives!
Those who are blessed with the privilege of seeing Trey up close and personal know that he has a silly tendency to repeat a few phrases:
"Don't worry!  Don't worry!" Trey says.  "I'm OK!  I'm OK!" he chants after a little slip and fall.
Oh, if we could only seize that spirit of faith and trust and joy!

Good Friday is almost upon us.
We all know what happened.  (If you don't, PLEASE read Matthew 27 http://niv.scripturetext.com/matthew/27.htm)
Jesus, innocent, holy Son of God, was tortured and crucified to pay for all sins for all mankind!
"They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him, and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on His head. They put a staff in His right hand and knelt in front of Him and mocked Him. “Hail, king of the Jews!” they said. They spit on Him, and took the staff and struck Him on the head again and again. After they had mocked Him, they took off the robe and put His own clothes on Him. Then they led Him away to crucify Him."
Matthew 27:28-31
Jesus was made to wear a crown of thorns.
Where did those thorns come from anyway?
Let's go waaaaaaaaaay back to Genesis.
Because of the sin of Adam and Eve, the first sin ever, God cursed the ground and said,
"The ground will grow thorns and thistles for you"
Genesis 3:18
for you.  ouch.
But God used the thorn of sin upon His precious Son's head in order to bring forgiveness of our sin!
See....Trey is right!  "Don't worry!  It IS OK!". :)

Have you ever had a "thorn" in your life?
Do you think it is there to only cause you harm?
PLEASE be like Trey:  "Don't worry!  Don't worry!  I'm OK!  I'm OK!"
God can use ANYTHING ANYTIME for our good and His glory!

Please continue to pray for Trey as his next treatment plan is decided.
Please pray for God's BEST for Trey!
PRAISE God for Trey's joy and zeal and health!
And please pray for Jay and Rachel as they make decisions and trust the doctors' plans.

"For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one Man, Jesus Christ."
Romans 5:17
