Holy Week/Busy Week
The days before Easter are typically packed with feverish activity preparing our families and homes for our Easter celebrations! There are baskets to fill, eggs to dye, and bonnets to buy! :)
Take a peek into the life of Jesus during Holy Week: He performed miracles, bestowed blessings and curses, taught, prayed, counseled, washed feet, and went to trial. He must have been physically and emotionally exhausted long before his gruesome crucifixion! Listen closely to how Jesus handles the stress:

"Haven't you ever read the Scriptures? For they say, 'You have taught children and infants to give you praise.'" Matthew 21:16
Four verses before this, Jesus had just turned over the temple tables due to the temple activity in the name of profit. Jesus stops it all to remind us that we are to praise God.....like children! What an antidote for greed! God doesn't need our grand Pinterest-style Easter decorations! He wants our child-like faith to reach out and worship Him! :)
A few verses later, Jesus simplifies it again for us:
"If you believe" Matthew 21:22
Trey's
awesome example of pure child-like faith is an inspiration to us every
day. Remember the purely innocent photos and videos of Trey living out
loud, praising, loving and believing. This Easter week can the same be
said of you?
