GOOD FRIDAY????
Why is this the day we call Good Friday. Wonder why they call it Good Friday. I wrote Hood Friday first, wouldn't that be what we would call today, if a group of people attacked our child and beat him nearly to death and then killed him. So what is today about that we call it Good Friday. I would not think of Wednesday Dec. 30th, 2009, a Good Wednesday. It was the worst Wednesday of my life. But yes I know why this is Good Friday, but has anyone ever stopped and thought what happened to Mary's son that day. When you found out whatever day it was you lost your beloved child, do you see it as a good day...NO! Good Friday is a day that many celebrate when most or all schools are out, a day off from work, a day to shop, we celebrate, but why when we know what happened on Good Friday. I cried on the day my son died. I cry all the time now. So why would I celebrate the day my son died as Good Wednesday.
The ultimate answer to that is: We consider Good Friday, today, as Holy, Special Day. A day that begins our future. A day that begins our hope of eternal life.
We know that this is the day Jesus died for us on the cross, but that is the day also that Many weeped as she lay on the ground feeling this horrible pain we feel in our body, our soul, our minds. Good Friday is not a good day for Mary, yet we the christian's make Good Friday a Special Day.
Do we forget that Mary lost her son this day many years ago. How can we forget. We don't forget our DAY.
Truthfully, I can not find this day a Good Friday any way it could be written about.
Good Friday is the day that Mary saw her son Die. Until my son left this place I, we call our world, I like everyone went about on Good Friday as a holiday, a day off from work. A day to do what I wanted to do, shopping for Easter, doing things with my kids, it was a happy day. It was a day of play. It was a day, that I looked forward to. I do not see this day we call "Good Friday" a special day.
For Mary, like us that was the worst day of her life. Mary's son Died. So wonder why we call it Good Friday. If someone said to me the day my son died. "This is a Good Wednesday", I probably would punched them out, at least they would have gotten "The Look" between my tears and pain.
We know as Christians and I know there are different views on DS about each belief's but since I am writing from my belief's I know that Jesus had to die on this day. I know it was to be, so that someday when my life ends, I will be in Heaven.
I know that Jesus suffered much much pain on Good Friday, and Mary suffered grief like something she had never felt before like we now feel. But we know why it happened and we know it gives us hope for the future and we know that now where our beloved children are that have gone on ahead of us, But so did Mary but it did not take her grief and pain away, Mary is you, me, Mary can't stop what is happening to her son anymore than I could stop that horrible cancer from taking my son, or that person driving drunk one day, or whatever horrible thing that happened to our child the day they left us for Heaven.
But without this day happening many many years ago, we would not have the hope we have today of seeing our children again. We have the peace of knowing that our children are safe, happy, loved like never before, healthy and one day we will be with them, Jesus and God and for that I am thankful for that because I know that Jesus died for me on the cross,and when I leave this world, I will be with my Jesus and and loved ones forever. This day gives us this hope. The Day we call Good Friday.
So as our belief's tell us that we know that if this day had not happened, then we would not be able ever to see our beloved child again, so for this day I am
thankful for. We know that on this day was the beginning of a future for our children, our loved one. This is the day the Mary felt the pain we feel, that she had to endure for us, for our children, for our wife, our husband, our mother, our father, our brother, our sister. This day began our hope for all eternity.
But why do we still call this day Good Friday, I ponder. A day full of pain, a day full of tears, a day a mother's heart was ripped apart, "Good Friday" the day that Jesus died, the day Mary's child died. A day like us that when our child died. Mary felt our pain and we all feel Mary's pain."
"Good Friday" is that really what today is? Not to me. Today is the day we celebrate Jesus, Mary's child being beaten, spit upon made fun at and died on the cross for us and Mary felt her whole being, her whole world torn apart, I watched my son as he was being tortured from the horrible pain of cancer. It destroyed his body, his life, caused unbearable pain, then he died and I felt the pain Mary felt when she watched her son die for us. So as we go about our day today, making our plans for Easter Day, shopping, being with our children still here, we need to stop and think of Mary and her son Jesus, this was not a good day for them. We should remember that this day is the day Mary and Jesus felt such horrible pain just like the day our beloved one left us. Maybe we should take a moment to think of Mary's pain as her beloved child died and her heart was broken into a million pieces that day. But we also remember that but for this day, it was for you and for me.
