Palm Sunday Service

This morning we went to church and heard and AMAZING message! The music was absolutely wonderful and the Easter decorations were gorgeous. The banners and flags were hung in the sanctuary, the wooden cross with the purple sash and the new choir pew rail was just beautiful. We have some talented people in our church and they worked hard to make everything so beautiful on this special day. Thanks to all that put hard work into the decoartions!
One of the special songs that was sung by a lady on the choir was called," The Day He Wore My Crown". Wow, you really need to hear the words to this song if you have not already heard it. It was so touching and really makes me wonder sometimes, why? Why would Jesus go through so much pain to save us? We are sinners and and He loved us sooo much that he died for us and went through a lot of suffering and criticism for us. This song really touched my heart. I know we celebrate Jesus' death and resurrection this time of year, but I just could not stand to sit there and listen to that song Mrs. Hix was singing and think I don't deserve this. There was also a picture of Jesus on the cross that was on the projector screen during the service today. Houston was even kinda emotional as he looked up at the picture and said, "that is sad". I know it was sad but guess what? HE LIVES! CHRIST JESUS LIVES TODAY!! He is in our hearts and we will meet again someday! I CAN NOT wait.
Also, today we observed communion or The Lord's Supper today at church. This was Houston's first time to take the bread and cup since he has accepted Christ in February. It was funny, because last night we were working in his workbook and it was about Baptism and The Lord's Supper. We had discussed that you can only participate in communion if you are a Christian and know Jesus is in your heart. So today, he was excited that he could participate. When the tray came around with the bread, he got it and held it patiently until the entire church had received one. When Brother Jack, read the scripture and said, "you may eat the bread", Houston put the cracker in his mouth and said, "Eww, this tastes yucky". I was kinda embarrassed but told him, this was very special and important to Jesus. Then the cup came around and he was shaking a little. I had to help him hold his cup until we were able to drink. I am so glad he got to experience this and hear such an uplifting message today. I hope everyone remembers what the real meaning of Easter is all about and why we celebrate it.
Hope everyone has a wonderful week.
