Palm Sunday
When I was a little girl growing up in the church of God, I remember Palm Sunday so well. We would get Palm branches to wave and put down for Jesus. And I remember getting these cardboard boxes filled with hard candy. They were so beautiful and precious. I can remember handling a box so delicately, hardly able to believe it had been gifted to me.
Now here we are 30 years later and Palm Sunday barely even seems to be a thing anyone remembers.
But we do.
I love Palm Sunday but it's also do sad thinking of all that was ahead of our Lord in the week to come. So much.
Our Palm Sunday was fun. We started the morning getting ready for church. It did not go well. Getting the family out of the house in time for church is like herding cats during a hailstorm. Add in the fact that our kids were supposed to be at the church and hour and half early and only one of the remembered compounded the problem exponentially.
We did all make it however. Praise the Lord!
After church Nick had found a water purifier for #thecozycottage that he drove up into Michigan to purchase. Thank you Marketplace for good deals. And the hidden blessing of the day was that, with one kid running behind and one on time to church meant that we took two cars to worship. So I got to go home and didn’t have to travel for water.
We spent some time relaxing at home before we set out on our next adventure…we drove about an hour towards Chicago to check out a vintage trailer for sale.
We have been looking for a trailer to renovate. We would love a vintage one because of course, all things vintage!
We hem-hawed around and decided that the trailer was too far out of our expertise to have finished by the time we leave for Acadia this year. So we’re going to pass and wait until something comes along next year.
As much as we wanted a project we were not quite ready for one so soon. We’ve talked about renovating a trailer but perhaps after our renovations to the cottage and the Manor are completed. If you are a home renovator too you should be laughing at my last sentence too. Things are never done!
It was fun however to drive together in the back roads of Indiana. On the way back we saw the most gorgeous full moon, hanging low and pink at the horizon. It was a truly gorgeous site to see. Ultimately it was a great end to the day and I feel blessed to be starting the week with my guy.
Until tomorrow…
