Blessed is He
Who comes in the name of the Lord
Blessed is He
Blessed is He
Who comes in the name of the Lord
Hosanna ... To the Son of David
Hosanna ... This is Jesus
Hosanna ... To the Son of David
Hosanna ... This is Jesus
These are the words the song we sing every year at GSF on Palm Sunday and sometimes at Easter too. Before Church all the kids cut down Palm branches and decorate the Church and hand out a few Palm leaves to every person. Then, we all sing this song and wave the Palm Branches around. After Church the kids will find lots of things to make with the Palm Leaves such as bracelets, rings, and the beginning of mats. This year I started learning how to make a bracelet or the beginning of a mat. It was so much fun!
Grace, Patience, and Eseza - the three girls who taught me to make things from Palm Leaves.
As I walked back home from Church with the girls we were all holding our Palm Leaves so we could try to make something. We walked past Daisy the Donkey - who, by the way is a Bethlehem Donkey (http://thepeddlersdonky.blogspot.com/2009/04/legend-of-donkey-cross.html). I started thinking about the first Palm Sunday when Jesus rode into town. All the people lined up on the side of the road - excited that their new King was coming to town. Then, here comes Jesus riding on a donkey, and the people throwing down Palm Branches and clothes to cover the path for Jesus. I think of how excited they must have been and then I come back to my life here and now when we're still singing Hosanna to Jesus.
Okay, now for other news. GRANDMA IS HERE!!!! Grandma, Uncle David, Uncle J.R., and our cousin, Gage are in Uganda for two weeks.
