I love the tradition of Palm Sunday in our church. Every year, the children parade through the church waving palm fronds and singing Hosanna In the Highest. It gives such a personal touch to the start of Holy Week, and the true meaning of Easter.
Today, in Sunday School, we learned the entire story and background about the significance of Palm Sunday. I am always amazed at how their young minds comprehend such lessons. Immediately they associated the fact that Jesus rode into town on a donkey, just like his mom Mary, rode to Bethlehem on a donkey before his birth. That the donkey was borrowed, just like his tomb, and that he was a King of the people.
I promise you, I receive the greatest blessing with these children in Sunday School. It is encouraging that they are so eager to learn more about our risen Lord! Here are a few photos of the day.

| They even let rotten little boys in on the fun! |

| What a great group...doing exactly as they rehearsed. |

Until next time, keep adventuring and looking for joy in the small details of life!
