SUNDAY BLESSINGS ~ PALM SUNDAY!

Palm leaves

Palm Sunday has arrived.  I have always enjoyed the Palm Sunday worship services.  At my church, the children come through the sanctuary waving palm leaves as they pass through.  It is always such a wonderful sight. 

So what does Palm Sunday mean?  The week before Jesus was crucified, he rode in on a donkey into Jerusalem often referred to as His Triumphal Entry.  As He rode through, the people waved palm branches and also laid them along His path.  Palm branches in ancient times symbolized goodness and victory.

How very appropriate that the palm branches represented this as this is exactly what Jesus symbolized!  He was the epitome of goodness and he was victorious on the Cross!  What a beautiful fore-telling of what was about to come!  Jesus, Hosanna in the Highest!

Blessings to you all this Palm Sunday and every day!

Hi Paula,

Happy Palm Sunday. I like how you posted a palm...very clever. Happy Easter next Sunday too. Thank Goodness we can still say these things as the govt seems to be trying to take our religous freedom away.
