Palm Sunday
   “The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem.
   They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna! ” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”“Blessed is the king of Israel!”
    Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written:
    “Do not be afraid, Daughter Zion; see, your king is coming, seated on a donkey’s colt.”
    At first his disciples did not understand all this. Only after Jesus was glorified did they realize that these things had been written about him and that these things had been done to him.
    Now the crowd that was with him when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to spread the word.
    Many people, because they had heard that he had performed this sign, went out to meet him.
    So the Pharisees said to one another, “See, this is getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world has gone after him!” - John 12:12-19

She loves boldly.

Growing older is not a gentle process. Year by year, I can feel certain strengths soften, thoughts take a little longer to rise, and time itself whispers the humbling truth that my days in this world are not without limit. And still, deep within me, there is peace. In the quiet center of my soul, fear does not rule me, because I know there is a home beyond this life waiting in the hands of God.
When my earthly journey reaches its final page, it will not be the end of me. It will be the beginning of something far more beautiful than anything I have known here. Every weakness will fall away. Every burden carried through these passing years will be lifted. Whatever age has worn down, God will renew with His perfect and restoring love.
I will stand whole again, not because of my own strength, but because of His mercy and unfailing grace. And one day, I will behold Jesus face to face. In that sacred moment, every ache, every grief, and every mark left by this fading world will lose all power over me.
That promise settles my heart. I do not have to dread the years ahead or mourn the fading of youth as though it were everything. Instead, each day becomes a gentle step closer to eternity, taken with trust and quiet hope.
The God who has carried me through every season of this life is the same God who has prepared everlasting life for me.
So I move forward in peace, with a heart at rest.

.   Equally yoked..communication, compromise, compassion..we added Christ ..for all will have trouble in the flesh..throw in a dash of humility..  worth the effort to grow old with your one...it's been adventure

God’s word warns us that the heart is the source of our words, actions, and choices, so guarding it is not optional but necessary for our walk with Him. “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life” (Proverbs 4:23, KJV), because what we allow into our thoughts will eventually shape how we live. Jesus taught that sin begins inside, saying, “out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness” (Mark 7:21–22). This means the real battle is not only outward behavior but inward surrender, and if the heart is not guarded, it will be pulled toward sin and destruction. God calls us to renew the inner life daily through His word and Spirit, for “a good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things” (Matthew 12:35), showing that a heart surrendered to God produces a life that reflects righteousness and obedience.

Lord, so often I rush through the motions, distracted by all my worries and lists. But I hear Your gentle invitation: slow down. Let my heart become Your home today. Fill every corner of this imperfect temple with Your holy presence. When I feel empty or unworthy, remind me: it's Your glory, not my effort, that brings true transformation. Shine through my cracks, my doubts, and even my restlessness. My prayer is simple: let Your glory fill my life until it overflows into everything I do. Come, Lord. Fill this temple.

thanks for the spot "))
