Palm Sunday

This weekend was disappointing and wonderful, all at the same time. My husband and I were supposed to go away for the weekend to celebrate our 34th wedding anniversary (which is on April 3), but a situation arose that prevented us from being able to get away. We were not able to spend the time we had hoped, but did manage to have a special weekend just being together. We joined our daughter, grandson and his other grandmother for a beautiful Palm Sunday service. There was a donkey and a singing church choir who led a processional around the block and then back into the sanctuary. We all had palm branches and waved them as we followed the donkey and his singing friends. Our grandson wore his cool new sunglasses and was able to convince my husband to carry him for the entire procession. About mid-procession, the donkey decided he had enough and just stopped walking. We were all stalled for a moment, but then the choir started moving and singing again and we all passed up the little donkey, petting his nose as we continued. It was a great start to Holy Week.
