It was Palm Sunday, but because of a sore throat, 5-year-old Johnny stayed home with his mom.  When the rest of the family returned home from church, they were carrying several palm branches.  Johnny asked what they were for.  “People held them over Jesus’ head as He walked by,” his father told him.  “Wouldn’t you know it,” Johnny fumed, “The one Sunday I don’t go and Jesus shows up!”
 
I hope you’re expecting Him to show up today!
