Advent A to Z

D is for Donkey
Read Zechariah 9:9

Did Mary really ride a donkey to Bethlehem? Was it a bumpy ride? Was she uncomfortable? Or was she thankful for that little animal that worked so hard to carry her there? You rode a donkey once, too, didn't you? On Palm Sunday you came into Jerusalem not on a horse but a humble donkey. And were you thankful too for that small animal who worked so hard to carry you there?
The Bible says that you were thankful for the children singing out your praises that bright day. Even though children are little, like donkeys, we work hard to sing your praises and welcome you at Christmas time.
Thank you Lord, for hearing us, and for being thankful for all the little things we try so hard to do for you.
