Dear Friends
Our theme today reminds us that God has given every person gifts and abilities no matter how humble we feel we are. We are all different. Some have a lot, some have a little. But we all have a unique contribution we can make to the church and the work of God.

Dear Friends
On that first "Palm Sunday", Jesus as he so often did, did something totally unexpected. He came riding into the city on a humble donkey. Let's think about that donkey for a moment.
It may only have been a donkey, but for those who had eyes to see, Jesus was claiming to be a king! A very different king of course. A king of peace. A king of love and truth. A king of the heart and soul. A king of resurrection life. A shepherd king. Not a king of war or political power.
It was only a donkey, just an ordinary means of transport in those days, but somebody gave it. I am constantly amazed at how God's people give, of their time, gifts, money and themselves. When God changes our hearts he opens them and we begin to have a new view of our possessions. These things are no longer "ours", they are God's and we need to pass them on to help others in need. To reach out with his love, to build his church and his Kingdom.
