Lenten Reflection
|
We are entering the season of Lent, where the people of the church spend time in contemplation in preparation for the Easter Season. It is customary, during Lent, to give up something that is holding you down spiritually. As a child I gave up chocolate, because I was told to give up something I liked; now I work to add something into my life; prayer, forgiveness (including self-forgiveness), and reading. During Lent, we act with INTENTION, and that matters. Allow me to offer an example: I am a pastor who sometimes uses her bowling words in the car (if I’m alone).
