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!

You can be proud of yourself, since you probably have good reason to be pleased with your accomplishments. As others notice and acknowledge your work, you could be feeling very satisfied. Giving yourself praise is as important as anyone else offering positive feedback, if not more so. If we ourselves don’t believe what is being said to us, it will not have the impact that it is meant to have, which ought to be taken as a gift that is being offered. Many times our inner critics are the loudest voices that echo in our heads from our earliest days, and they don’t need to be true for us to listen to them. But when we acknowledge our own hard work and our satisfaction with a job well done, those voices begin to quiet with each triumph until they fade away completely. By allowing yourself to take pride in your work, you honor the truth of your abilities and strengths. Read More
