Easter's Here

Easter is decorated with Red Bud and Dog Wood Blooms each year.  I have a Dog Wood down the Lane and I noticed it was blooming full and lovely.  

When Mary Magdalene discovered the empty tomb, the linen that covered Jesus face was folded in a separate place.  In those days masters with servants would eat and if they were through with their meal they would place the used face wiping linen on the table crumpled.  If they were returning to eat more, they would fold the linen.  Jesus facial cloth was folded--He is coming again!

No I did not make it up. John 20: 7. When Lazarus rose (John 11 : 44) he came forth in grave clothes and his face was still bound in the face linen. Jesus clothes were left in a heap. He will need them no more, but he folded the napkin as he is coming again. He will not need the shroud as he will die no more.
