I am a content creator and storyteller based in Florida, where I work for OneHope. I love digital and content marketing, writing, and the occasional doodle.
Nobody talks about the Saturday between Good Friday and Easter. Some Christians call it “Holy Saturday” or “The Great Sabbath.“
Really, it is a time of waiting. It is a moment between the agony of Friday and the joy of Easter morning. It’s simply a day of waiting. Nobody likes to wait. Who likes to be in darkness, after all? But it is essential in every worthy endeavor.
That’s right! There’s no cartoon today. I saw this scene and thought it would be perfect for this day. Here are some observations and lessons from a Good Friday.
The joy of Easter wouldn’t mean much without the suffering and sacrifice of Good Friday. There would be no resurrection without death. One needs the other.
We have the tendency to think that where we are at right now is where we will be for the rest of our lives. But we are never permanently stuck. Sure, today may be a puzzle for us.
We can feel like a skier that is stuck in a snowbank.
Discouragement can make us feel like giving up. We feel panic or a feeling of panic or despair well up within us.
I have worked with kids at church for some time. My goal has been to pass along some of the joys and insights I have learned along the way. That can be challenging when children are excited and very active. So this led to this spiritual discipline for kids cartoon.
There is a big difference between a Sunday morning and an evening group of kids. On Sunday morning, most children are subdued. They may be just waking up. Perhaps the cereal hasn’t kicked in or they were doing activities the night before.
We can worry about all sorts of things. Are the kids okay? What about that strange noise coming from the car? What about that pain that I’m feeling in my gut? Could what happened to that family on the news happen to us? All the potential anxiety led to this worry about worrying cartoon.
So apparently this can lead to Generalized Anxiety Disorder. There is a time to be concerned that our worry is out of control. Here is an article to help us decide when we need to seek help.
Worry is an addiction. As a kid, I worried about whether I would ever grow up. I worried if that rough-talking kid would turn on me and become my bully. I worried about being good enough or just being good!
