Palm Sunday was the 99th day of 2017. 4/9/2017 started, as most recent Palm Sundays do, at the Oaklyn Fire Department's Pancake Breakfast. This is one of my family's favorite events, not because the food is good (which it is), but mainly because we all gather as a community to support men and women who volunteer to protect us from fire and other elemental harms. And then, there was the Palm Sunday service at Old First, with amazing music and inspirational words and prayers. And then Sarah and the girls got to travel to Grandma Weaver's Annual Egg Hunt AND got to visit TJ on the campus of LVC, after his baseball team's comeback win! I got to relax at home (after completing required Church work), watch the Phillies, and live vicariously through Facebook photos :-). Palm Sunday is one of those celebratory occasions where we know things will take a turn in the future. Sadly, we know that sadness is on the horizon in Holy Week, but we must be inspired to have hope and faith in the future. That is what I think the song The Palms is all about. And I know few people like this "old chestnut," but I do, and this is MY page. SO, continuing with some songs for friends who liked the musical theme from last year, and I think reprising the Palm Sunday song FROM last year, I leave you with this Faure masterpiece (in my opinion). I hope your Holy Week brings you inspirational moments, and moments of reflection, hope, faith, and peace.
