Life is full of
patterns Habits Customs
Often, we do what we do
because… we’ve always done them.
Today we start a
journey to
More
consciously look deeper…
Pay more attention…
Listen for God…
Know that God is already there..
…and
has always been there
Waiting…
Lent is not a “thing”
It’s
a process
It’s a change of mind of heart
of focus
It’s intentionally
tuning-in… consciously listening…
Maybe you do that by giving
something up or adding
something
or
being more open
or listening more
or paying attention…
to the still small voice
to the whisper
…that’s always been there…
We start by remembering
we’re mortal
By remembering there’s
more to this life than “stuff”
and places to go
and people to see
…and all this around us will
someday end
…and that we really do need God
not just in this life,
but in the next too
and that we need to return
to this source of life.
Oh, how easy it is to forget
To turn away
To forget we are people of light
Time to return… and
listen… and be made whole again
God of Ashes, through
our blackened foreheads and broken hearts,
proclaim to the world
that we are not alone.
Make us witnesses of
grieving well.
Open our hands and
hearts to hold one another’s brokenness
until we are ready to
turn it over to you for healing and new life.
Amen
