Today as I was standing there next to the sawdust carpet we had made, taking photographs of the procession that was about to walk across it, and destroy it, I was thinking about this custom and while I don't know all the symbolism of this event, here is what occurred to me....
On this day we make these beautiful carpets - then these people carrying a statue of Jesus carrying the cross walk across the carpets - destroying them - taking something beautiful and making it a mess - BUT Jesus does exactly the opposite!
We are a mess, we are not beautiful, but with Jesus he changes that and can make us something beautiful! Put us back together! We don't have to be a mess, but He can put things into order and make us how we were intended to be.

About Me
- Steph
- Comayagua, Honduras
- I went on my first mission trip in July, 2003. I never had a desire to go on a mission trip, but I was being obedient to God's call to go. I LOVED it! I fell in love with the people and the country of Honduras. Whether I am in the US or in Honduras, you can find me with the kids! My heart is for all children to know how much Jesus loves them. I never dreamed the awesome adventure God would call me to! I moved to Honduras in July 2007. I acquired a puppy while living here, his name is Samson aka Sanson (his Spanish name). He is a beautiful lovable chocolate labrador.

So true. I thought of this... The cross over-rides everything that we value. It was the Main Event.
Happy Easter, Stephanie!
Love, Lynn
