Trees #13 - WHY PALMS?

SundayTrees13

TREES #13 - WHY PALMS?

Usually I only post once a month in the "Tree" series (on the second Sunday of every month) but since today is Palm Sunday, I thought it would be perfect to do a post talking about Palm Trees.

This is Trees#13 asking the question "Why Palms?"

When doing my research I learned quite a bit about Palm trees.  Since I have never lived in a warm climate where I would be able to grow palm trees, I found that I was rather ignorant on the many varieties of these trees.  I knew that coconuts grew on certain types of palm trees but I had no idea that other varieties grow dates and then Acai berries grow on a different palm variety.  Truly amazing!!

All three of these crops have many health benefits
(Note - I am not a doctor - I am simply sharing information I found in my research - see my disclaimer below):
Coconut - kills bacteria, eases inflammation, reduces pain, helps with menstrual issues, aids in weight loss, helps with kidney disease (and many more benefits)
Dates - promotes brain health, high in fiber, many antioxidants, blood sugar control (it's a natural sweetener), and much more. 
Acai - regulates blood pressure and improves cardiac health, is good for the skin, boosts cognition, and many more benefits.
 

Getting back to our question - Why Palms on Palm Sunday?

SundayTrees13B


Historically speaking, palm trees/branches symbolize:
- peace
- eternal life
- victory

All three of those symbols make perfect sense - Jesus is the reason that we have:
- inner peace over inner strife
- eternal life through Jesus' sacrifice
- victory over sin because God loved us all so much that He sent Jesus to save us from our sins!

See the Scripture passage below - the entire crowd used palm branches to welcome & honor Jesus.

by Angie Ouellette-Tower for http://www.godsgrowinggarden.com/ photo SundayPalm_zps5hetxbak.jpg


Then, in Revelation (see Bible verses below), we see a similar reverence where a "multitude" (too many to count) honored Jesus with palm branches:


SundayTrees13A 



Thank you Jesus for giving us peace, victory and eternal life through your sacrifice!!!  Hosanna!!  Hallelujah!!!

Baker's Dozen #3 - SPRING

BakersDozenSpring

Baker's Dozen #3 - SPRING

This is the third post in my 2024 series celebrating the 13th year of "God's Growing Garden".  The term "baker's dozen" comes from medieval England where there were strict laws about the price of bread/wheat.  If a baker was caught cheating on the size of bread they would be fined or even punished physically.  To make sure that punishment never happened bakers started adding an extra baked good in with each customer's order. 

Once or twice a month I will post in this series.  I will choose a topic and then share 13 previously published posts on that chosen topic.

Today's topic is:
SPRING

ENJOY!
