Something very precious to me fell out of my hairdryer. My diamond earrings!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now I cannot even begin to suggest how these earrings wound up in the hairdryer. They were in a box with all my other jewelry (not another piece of jewelry was in the hairdryer I might add). Now the hairdryer and the box of jewelry were in the same suitcase, but come on. Really? Someone these two earrings found their way out of the box and into the hairdryer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The earrings were a bit mangled (the picture tells the tale) and I will need to have them professionally repaired, but at least I have both earrings (the backs didn\u2019t make it\u2026I\u2019m trying to stay positive here).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Today is day that all of Christianity is thinking of Jesus\u2019 sacrifice. And as I remember what Jesus went through so that I might have salvation, my diamond earrings are worthless. Jesus\u2019 precious body was bruised, battered and beaten for my transgressions. He sacrificed His own life for mine. And unlike my earrings that mysteriously landed in my hairdryer, God\u2019s plan from the beginning of our time was to redeem mankind. Jesus chose to follow that plan. And I don\u2019t know about you, but I am blessed and thankful for His choice.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The song I share today is about Jesus\u2019 wounds. His sacrifice. As you go about you day today, I pray that you will not allow this to be just like any other day. I pray that you will offer your life to Jesus because of the great love He has for you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy His Wounds\u201d<a href=\"#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\"><sup><sup>[i]<\/sup><\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He was pierced for our transgressions<br \/>\nHe was crushed for our sins<br \/>\nThe punishment that brought us peace<br \/>\nWas upon Him<br \/>\nAnd by His wounds<br \/>\nBy His wounds, we are healed<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Chorus:<br \/>\nWe are healed by Your sacrifice<br \/>\nAnd the life that You gave<br \/>\nWe are healed for You paid the price<br \/>\nBy Your grace, we are saved<br \/>\nWe are saved<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He was pierced for our transgressions<br \/>\nHe was crushed for our sins<br \/>\nThe punishment that brought us peace<br \/>\nWas upon Him<br \/>\nAnd by His wounds<br \/>\nBy His wounds, we are healed<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nChorus:<br \/>\nHe was pierced for our transgressions<br \/>\nHe was crushed for our sins<br \/>\nThe punishment that brought us peace<br \/>\nWas upon Him<br \/>\nAnd by His wounds<br \/>\nBy His wounds, we are healed<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What can wash away my sin<br \/>\nNothing but the blood of Jesus<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll want to listen to this one.
