HOLY WEEK
[Semana Santa]
PALM SUNDAY
[image credit: 40 Days 40 Words]
On this Palm Sunday, the appropriate One Word
would be "Hosanna" but that One Word is postponed
until Monday, March 25th, day 35
since Sunday is a day of rest
However, the reading for today is:
Mark 11:1-11
emphasis
Mark 11:9
35. HOSANNA - Mark 11:9; John 12:13 36. STRANGER - Matthew 25:35 37. BETRAY - Matthew 26:21 38. WEPT - John 11:35 39. DIE - John 12:24 40. CRUCIFIED & RAISED - Mark 16:6 |
"... Something beautiful happens when we do this: We become less judgmental, more gentle, and more understanding of the struggles others face. In a word, we become compassionate." |
*NOTE: The FOCUS One Word (if I've kept up correctly) for RESURRECTION SONday should be ALERT (1 Corinthians 16:13) and today for this week starting with Palm Sunday ADVANCE (Hebrews 5:14 ESV) and the "Focus Tip" from the author, Cleere Cherry Reeves, seems to be perfect for this Holy Week: "This week, ask God to help you release everything that is holding you back from ADVANCING, learning, and growing in your faith. Focus on what it might look like to go deeper."
FOCUS
and
GO
DEEPER
I love PALM SONday!
Palms up & Praise to the King of kings!

Exodus 12:29-36 +
I was ready to Title it myself because
I couldn't find her title with:
