Today, in all Christian communities we will be celebrating the arrival of our savior, Jesus to the village of his birth, Jerusalem. Coming into town riding on the back of a small burro Jesus was greeted by cheering followers waving fronds of palm cut from their local trees. In the days that followed he was quickly transformed from a man who was cheered to one to who was crucified for our sins on a cross. I cannot imagine anything so painful as having nails driven into my hands and feet. At this time of year I am reminded of the pain he endured for my sins and I am quickly reminded of those I have hurt and ask for his forgiveness. Before entering into this week of solemn reflection and prayer my craft class met to create a beautiful egg to display on Easter morning as we celebrate Jesus' rising into the heavens to be with his father.

| All done! Once they completed their eggs they were placed inside a little felt basket with the chocolates and a Longaberger Easter Egg tie on. This is Corinne's, I think she did a fabulous job!! |

May your week be filled with reflection for your blessings and prayer for those of us less fortunate ....
