Holy Week

Yesterday we began Holy Week with Palm Sunday. I’m focusing this year on trying to be more present during this week to remember our Lord’s Passion and Death. Jesus gave everything for me, for us, and I’m going to do my best to remember the days leading up to and through it. I simply share…

Sadness & Waiting

Today we wait. Holy Saturday, Jesus has died and we wait for His rising again. We are fortunate, we know the end of the story. Could you imagine though living in His time? I can just feel the sadness and despair his followers must have felt on this day back then. A friend of mine…

Time to Connect

I enjoy the weekends. Ok, I know that’s a radical idea 🙂 . Seriously though, they are a time to slow down just a tad and enjoy moments that that business of the week doesn’t allow. For instance, I can get dinner going a little earlier and my husband and I can enjoy meals on…

The Passion

Today is Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week. The week when we walk the path that Jesus did, the last week of His earthly life. It’s an emotional week and there are so many services that have me questioning what would I have done if I were there in that crowd. Would I have…

And…We Wait

In one of my first posts this week I mentioned how I had been learning so many things about Holy Week that I had not known before. I’ve been digging a little deeper and doing more research into what happened each day. So yes, I’ve learned a little more about Holy Saturday as well 🙂…

It is Finished

Maundy Thursday

The Thursday of Holy Week, also known as Maundy Thursday, well it was I guess you would say somber. This is the last time that Jesus will be with his disciples for a meal. This is the last time that Jesus will be with the disciples as a group, a family. He understands, but do…

Holy Wednesday

I do believe there is truth to that saying, the older you get the faster time flies. Hard to believe we are in the middle of Holy Week already and just a few days away from Easter. It seems like yesterday we began Lent. Anyway, as I did some digging into the events of the…

Holy Tuesday

It’s funny how you can go through so many years of your life on autopilot. What the heck is she talking about now you ask. I just mean, for me anyway, I thought I knew what Holy Week was about. Ok, that didn’t come out right, I mean I thought I was pretty well-versed in…

Holy Monday

As we make our way through this week I wanted to look into each day a little closer. Over the years I’ve of course participated in the major services of Holy Week, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, etc., but what about these first three days. What happened between when Jesus rode in on the donkey on…
