Today is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the season of Lent on the Christian Church Year Circle. Like many people, I feel like Lent, 2020 never truly gave way to Easter. Looking back, I can see some hope in this new calendar year. We have vaccines &a new Presidential Administration. yet COVID is still running amok, there is a lot of political division in our nation, and { the latest} a Deep Freeze hit most of the United States.
On this day, Christians remember that we are mortal creatures. However, I am choosing to mark this Lenten continuum by remembering that God loves we humans in spite of our brokenness. { see Psalm 139} We have but this one life on Earth to make a positive difference in others' lives and there is no time like Pandemic Lent : Part 2 to use our God-given creativity to share the Light & LOVE of Christ with other people.
For me, practicing intentional listening will be my Lenten discipline for 2021.
Lenten peace..
