DAY 1 Our Week Long Walk With Our Savior Jesus Christ!

As a family we decided to begin a week long walk with our Savior Jesus Christ! I thought this would be the best way to teach Caitlyn the true meaning of Easter rather than the commercial view of candy, treats and toys from the Easter Bunny! We began today with Palm Sunday, Our Savior's triumpant entry into Jerusalem. As the beginning of the Holy week we read scriptures Matt 21: 1-11. Caitlyn painted and colored a palm leaf out of construction paper. Daddy was the donkey as Caitlyn played Jesus. She climbed on his back as daddy crawled through the house. I waved the palm she made as she rode by and greeted her with praises! She loved it! She even continued to ask questions about why the people were so happy and why Jesus went to the city. I'm not sure when(time of day)when Jesus returned to Jerusalem, but it was amazing to me that right after we did our activity the clouds disappeared and the sun shined right through! It was a wonderful feeling! We're looking forward to DAY 2!

Matt 21:9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
