Lent

Palm Sunday

Very busy day yesterday capping off a very busy month or two. Mark and Christopher’s soccer season started for the year, visitors dropped by for the afternoon unexpectedly (very nice to see them) and then we hosted a gathering of people for friends who graduated from BCNZ yesterday.

Would have been good to get to Palm Sunday service today but health-wise and energy-wise not a good idea for any of us. I wonder how the disciples and others felt that day. Several years of following Jesus around the countryside and then a big climactic entry into Jerusalem. I imagine once the hype died down the tiredness set in with a bang. Definitely “Hosanna” – “Save us”.

Lord, in this Passion Week may we be passionate about you no matter what our circumstance.
