With my kids grown and us attending a different church than the one I grew up in, it's harder to <br />follow the full Lenten season and Holy Week until we approach Good Friday and Easter.<br />Stopped by from "Playdates". Will stop by later this week.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />JanisJanis Van Keurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07291628430833626275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444751395260978471.post-55356081790626669632011-04-19T06:28:48.322-04:002011-04-19T06:28:48.322-04:00Yes, I'll join you on the journey.

I've got my palm from Sunday in a vase on the kitchen table still. <br /><br />Thanks for keeping us focused on the Holy Week's events.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444751395260978471.post-42188241828388199002011-04-18T22:35:59.916-04:002011-04-18T22:35:59.916-04:00Reading about how your church celebrates has me al...Reading about how your church celebrates has me all excited! I just love the Lenten season. Your kids sound like they know the deal. This is the first year that both of my boys are too old for the kiddie stuff. No decorating the eggs, no egg hunt. On Maundy Thursday their youth group is reenacting the Last Supper, though. I am so excited to see how it will impact them both. Sometimes, I get too preachy and I'm afraid I just sound like background noise to them. But when they get involved and experience it for themselves...it's pretty cool to see. <br /><br />A blessed holy Monday to you, Susan.

He said (and I tend to agree) that Jesus rode on the donkey to provoke his enemies. He knew his time had come. Up until this week, he generally didn't try to draw attention to himself.Susan DiMickelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13376687779868147687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444751395260978471.post-78879605207267029722011-04-18T16:17:13.600-04:002011-04-18T16:17:13.600-04:00I'll join you, my friend.

It's because I know that after smiling and rejoycing what happens to Jesus and it hurts my heart worse than I can remember. I guess I just find it weird to celebrate Palm Sunday this way.<br /><br />PS - didn't know that fact about the animal.

I wish I could say the same. Try as I may, my kids are still more focused on the Bunny than on Jesus himself.
