Palm Sunday

Today, we remember Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. The crowds adored Him and welcomed Him with open arms. They waved palm branches at Him and shouted “Hosanna”. It was a time of rejoicing and happiness. As I think about this time period in Jesus’ life, I have to wonder if He was able to live in the day and enjoy this time period. He already knew what was going to happen to Him. He knew that He was going to be betrayed in only a few short days. I wonder what He was thinking. It’s hard for us to live…

Frugal Friday: Plant Swap

Posted in Homemaking, and Thrifty Ideas

If you’ve looked over my blog, you know that I’ve been doing a lot of planting and work in my yard. About a week ago, a new group in our area was started for swapping/sharing plants.

She says that I can have as many as I want for free. Wow! There have been many things listed on the group. I’ll be getting…
