HOSANNA, HOSANNA, HOSANNA!

Christ made his triumphal entry into Jerusalem for what he knew was the beginning of the end of his life, less than a week away.

People lined the streets and shouted HOSANNA.

What a beautifully symbolic and reverent experience to participate in a Hosanna shout as we commemorate the original Hosanna shout.

Palm leaves. White handkerchiefs. Hands.

We unite with saints past, present, and future, in waving and shouting.

JOY
ENERGY
REVERENCE ⁣
EXCITEMENT ⁣
GRAVITY⁣
LOVE⁣

All of these emotions encompassed in one single word: HOSANNA.

And that word reminds us that we can find these complicated but important emotions each and every day.

We can find HOSANNA moments.
At a repetitive job.
After taking care of a baby all day.
After writing yet another paper.
After staying inside day after day.
After a historic proclamation is read to the world.

When some person is just riding a donkey into town.

It’s because of our intention and our testimonies.

When we understand who our Savior is, then we look for and FIND all the good, God-filled moments around us. ⁣

What an emotional and memorable beginning to Easter Week. #PalmSunday

Happy Studying!

  1. My testimony has grown so strong from all that took place this last conference. I was so full of the spirit and Holy Ghost, that my was over whelmed. It was such a humbling experience I didn’t want it too end. I felt like it could go on for ever. I’m now thinking this may have been a small ounce of what I might of felt in the pre-existence. I now can only look forward to the day I can meet my loving Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ.

    1. Oh man, I agree! Wasn’t this Conference just the best?! The perfect definition of a “spiritual high”.
