One day I dug a little hole,
And put my hurt inside
I thought that I could just forget
I’d put it there to hide.
But that little hurt began to grow,
I covered it every day
I couldn’t leave it and go on
It seemed the price I had to pay.

My joy was gone,
My heart was sad,
Pain was all I knew.
My wounded soul enveloped me
Loving seemed too hard to do.
One day, while standing by my hole,
I cried to God above
And said, “If You are really there,
They say, You’re a God of Love!”

John 12:12-16

..

When the great crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, they took palm branches and went out to meet him, and cried out:

..

“Hosanna!

Blessed is he who comes in the

name of the Lord,

the king of Israel.”

..
John found an ass and sat upon it, as is written:  Fear no more, O daughter Zion; see your king comes, seated upon an ass’s colt.

..

His disciples did not understand this at first, but when Jesus had been glorified they remembered that these things were written about him and that they had done this for him.   John 12:12-16

*****************************************

They accepted Him as the Messiah and the Deliverer as He entered Jerusalem on the back of a donkey.  They spread palm branches on the dusty road and sang songs of glory and praise!

..

        We accept each other into our lives as brother and sister and friend and neighbor, as we enter into each other’s hearts with love and trust and forgiveness.  Read More

Food fixes
Dietary changes can alter the brain both chemically and structurally. If you’re feeling blue, take a step toward recovery by ensuring that your diet includes the following:

  • Fish oil contains high levels of the omega-3 fatty acid DHA (docosahexaenoic acid); a deficiency in DHA has been linked to depression. When DHA is plentiful, your mood isn’t the only thing that gets a boost—memory and learning are enhanced as well. Not a fish fan? Essential fatty acids are also found in a variety of seeds, nuts, oils and leafy vegetables.

  • Antioxidant-rich foods can also serve to bolster mental health. Try to include apricots, broccoli, carrots, pumpkin, spinach, sweet potato, blueberries, kiwi and oranges, among others, in your diet.

  • Daily multivitamins are the final step in keeping your brain and body properly
