Blood moon

My cousin posted a verse on Facebook this morning that correlates to the "blood moon" that people have been talking about this week:

"The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord." Acts 2:20

Now, I probably don't know all there is to know about this verse, but doesn't it seem a little odd that this blood moon is happening RIGHT BEFORE EASTER SUNDAY.

I haven't been a Christian for long, but I keep forgetting about the fact that Jesus Christ is going to return someday, and it just kind of startled me when I realized that it could literally happen any moment. It could happen in fifty minutes or fifty centuries.

And that gives me hope. His love gives me hope. And even though I spent probably half of my time tonight feeling sorry for myself and wishing that I could just run away, I kept glancing at that moon on the horizon and realizing that He gave it all up for me.
All of it.

...

(And yes, I still am a little suspicious about this whole blood-moon-that's-clearly-referenced-in-the-Bible-happening-the-same-week-as-Easter thing.)

Anyway... whether y'all are on a beach in Puerto Rico, at family dinners in good ol' Iowa, or freezing your toes off in Minnesota, have a wonderful Easter guys! :-)
