Whenever I see these thorns in the desert, I think about the crown of thorns that was placed on my Savior’s head… And they clothed Him with purple; and they twisted a crown of thorns, put it on His head, and began to salute Him, “Hail King of the Jews!” Then they struck Him on the head with a reed and spat on Him; and bowing the knee, they worshiped Him.

There were many times that I didn’t think that I would be able to complete this challenge. Munchkin had an easier time with it all that I did. It’s another reminder to me why Jesus welcomed children.
