IT’S SUNDAY !!
It was a lovely Spring day for us yesterday! It may not be as nice today but we were blessed with good weather when we needed it. Everyone had a great time and ate lots of good food too.
The pictures are posted on my blog/journal and the link for it is at the end of this newsletter if you want to take a look.
It’s R & R day and after the busy one yesterday I do feel like I need it. I’ll be off to church and I think it will be a quiet day.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

TODAY’S SMILE
It was Palm Sunday, but five-year-old Johnny had to stay home from church because he was sick.
When the family returned home carrying palm branches, he asked what they were for.
His mother explained, People held them over Jesus' head as he walked by.
Wouldn't you know it, Johnny said, The one Sunday I don't go, Jesus shows up!
SOMETHING TO DO FOR LENT
Put a palm from the Passion Sunday liturgy where you will see it all day, all year. Use it to remind yourself that the reign of Christ has begun
