Life is so good

It is amazing how God takes such good care of us. We live our lives to serve Him because we love Him - not to get something out of Him. He knows this so blesses us tremendously.

Here we are - I was laid off March 12 and have not found work yet. My husband owns a construction company - he is a building contractor and work has subsided so much, all he is doing now are small jobs for friends. We are practicing being retired! It could so easily be a time of panic, worry or fret. But we know God takes care of us. We trust Him and he provides our needs. He amazes me and I am so thankful.

Today is Palm Sunday - the day Jesus rode the donkey into Jerusalem - the people knew who He was and waved their palm branches and laid them at His feet. They welcomed Him as their KING of kings, their Saviour.

Each year we commemorate the past Feasts and try our best to give honor to our heritage. We celebrate communion. We will do communion every day leading to Easter - we are the Easter people - we believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. We believe He is alive today and we believe He is God in the flesh. Only God can perform miracles, only God can heal, only God can forgive sins and Jesus did it all.

So this day, this Palm Sunday, we say thank you for coming into our lives. We welcome you and give you our praise. We surrender our lives to you Lord Jesus.
