We prepared the week before last for special company, cleaning, cooking and decorating to make "fit for a king." We also prepared for Palm Sunday, to celebrate the entrance of Jesus into the city of Jerusalem, the King of Kings, riding on a donkey, with palm fronds waved by children.
The Chinese Windmill palm (Trachycarput fortunei) in the Hot border, the main palm died and this is the new life that came from it.
.
Another palm in the past was moved from the hot border to a pot and placed it near the rose arbor tucked away from winter winds when temperatures dropped.
"Open Palms" like a Prayer in Winter Snow (several years ago)
Palm Moved to the Front Deck
So we sacrificed and clipped off the bottom fronds and a friend helped slice the barbs off the stems so children's hands would not be injured and on Palm Sunday the children of the church waved the palms and sang "Hosanna". How are you preparing for Easter? Is it just outward preparation or is it the most important preparation you can ever do, that of opening your heart so the King of Kings to come into your life so Jesus can live through you. Happy Easter!
