I’m hooked on haikus! Just looking at the universe yesterday, day and night, prompted these:
White clouds in the sky
fleetingly form images
as the eye beholds.
…………………………………………
Such a lovely sight;
full moon in all its glory
bathing the night sky.
Would anyone like to share their haikus with me? Happy Friday.
Curiosity got the best of me again. I sent someone a “happy Friday” and then curiously wondered where this day got its name. This is what I found on the good old www.
Friday is named after the wife of Odin. Some scholars say her name was Frigg; others say it was Freya; other scholars say Frigg and Freya were two separate goddesses. Whatever her name, she was often associated with Venus, the Roman goddess of love, beauty and fertility. “Friday” comes from Old English “Frīgedæg.”
Having said that, have a Frigg and good Friday.
It has been eight weeks since I’ve had a hug. To all who are missing their hugs, this is for you.
“Why is it called good Friday when it commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus?”
This is a question asked over and over again.
Indeed, though the deed itself was an ugly one, some two thousand plus years ago, it was the promise of His return that held out hope and made it almost bearable to bear.
It is that hope that so many of us cling to that gives such meaning to the Easter season and all seasons before and after.
It is that hope, that some day we will see Him face to face, as His disciples did after that heartbreaking Friday. That hope carries us through to Easter Sunday.
Once again, words are not needed…just feel the love. May your day be filled with love, Happy Friday.
