Spiritual Sunday!

+ Palm Sunday +



   Today is a very spiritual Sunday -Palm Sunday- the beginning of Holy Week.
 This week we carry our heavy hearts and green palms in our hands as
 we reflect and meditate on the Crucifixion.  


While reflecting on Palm Sunday, I found this neat Video on youtube about: Palm Sunday, and giving up our will to God. 


Christ commands us to deny ourselves, carry our cross each day, & follow in His footsteps. 

"Whoever wishes to be my follower must deny his very self, take up his cross each day, and follow in my steps." -Luke 9:23 

Denying oneself of one's own desires, is about as easy as trying not to eat the batter before the cookies are finished, yet saints are made every day. 

Carrying our cross each day, is as easy as trying to speak kindly of everyone, yet saints are made every day. 

Following in His footsteps, is as easy being eaten by lions,  yet saints are made everyday. 

In the end there is Hope! 

The original Holy Week, experienced by the apostles, was one of Faith, Hope, & Love. 
I Pray: 
That as you reflect on the Crucifixion this week you are given: the Faith to trust in God's will, the Hope to joyfully except His will, and the Love to fully receive His will. 
And that we are all able to support and & guide one another to choose God's Way! 
Amen
