Ash Wednesday
Today, in the Christian tradition, is Ash Wednesday. It is the beginning of the Lenten season which lasts for 40 days, ending on Easter.
I can not speak to the many traditions of Ash Wednesday and Lent, I can only share with you my own Lenten Journey. I do know, however, that typically a person “gives something up” for Lent.
Instead of “giving something up,” I prefer to “take something on.” It may be a kindness, an addition to my diet or physical fitness plan to improve my health, a prayer time that will benefit a specific population. Perhaps this year it will be an addition to my “journey” that will benefit those who are in need of Blessings in their lives. I know that sounds a bit vague. It is still vague to me-it just seems to be where my heart is taking me…
As this part of my journey reveals itself, I would LOVE to share to with you.
Is Lent a part of YOUR life? Where is it taking YOU this year?
