I'm posting my Lent post. I've had some requests...
Taking this Ash Wednesday to reflect on the "ashes" in my own life and the ashes that I came out of. Lent for me it is not about giving up something I have, am, or desire. It's about realizing the perspective of change and the transitory nature of all life. That everything is temporary. The hurt felt last night, is not permanent. The joy of a laugh with loved ones should be cherished, because life too is impermanent. Through grace (and only grace, because none are perfect), we can rise above, live on, and love through anything...because we are loved and we are each a fragment of God and each other. Though I will not be in attendance this evening for services, I recognize the impact of today and carry it with me. Here's to finding our piece of peace today, pushing through this holy time.
Trying to find my piece of peace today, as I realize that I don't have a day off until next Friday.
Peace,
M
