dear emily,
a lovely lady was standing next to me at my sanctuary, i
mean william sonoma, and i overheard her ask if this was
easter sunday. "well, she's not in the choir," i thought to
myself. we can tell you the date and celebration of every
sunday until Christmas. :)
it's palm sunday, one of my favorite days of the year! who
could resist little children waving palm branches, singing
"hosanna to the Son of david!" not me.
when the religious pharisees heard the children shouting
their hosannas to Jesus, they were indignant. "do you hear
what they are saying?" they asked.
well sure, "from the lips of children and infants has been
appointed praise." (matthew 21:16)
i love the next part even more, Jesus said if the people
"keep silent, the rocks will cry out." (luke 19:40) a long,
long time ago, i decided, "ain't no rock gonna' cry out in
my place."
hosanna!
love,
lea
ps. i'm singing "the holy city" this sunday and would
appreciate any and all prayers.
