Ash Wednesday

Pope Leo XIV on Lent,

"I would like to invite you to a very practical and frequently unappreciated  form of abstinence; that of refraining from words that offend and hurt our neighbor. Let us begin by disarming our language, avoiding harsh words and rash judgment, refraining from slander and speaking ill of those who are not present and cannot defend themselves. Instead, let us strive to measure our words and cultivate kindness and respect in our families, among our friends, at work, on social media, in political debates, in the media and in Christian communities . In this way, words of hatred will give way to words of hope and peace."

Friday

 "Friday is the perfect moment to choose joy, share kindness, 

finish one important task, and 

stop into the weekend feeling light and capable."

If you want ...

"The great C.S. Lewis, in his classic Mere Christianity, wrote these words: If you want to get warm, you must get near the fire. If you want to get wet, you must get into the water. If you want joy, power, peace, eternal life, you must get close to or even into the thing that has them ... If you want eternal life, that is the life most joyous being in the universe, get close to God, immerse yourself in the water of who God is, and you will grow in  joy."

Reading scriptures and belonging to a Bible study are great ways to get close to God.

Monday Musings ... Happy Epiphany

 Yesterday a friend hosted a  Happy Epiphany Open House.  Family, friends, and volunteers were treated to a lovely afternoon as we gathered to visit and engage in some sweet conversations. In addition, we enjoyed delectable treats. 

In the context of being a  Christians, Epiphany is marked as recognition of when the Wise Men came to give gifts to the Lord Jesus.  Eastern Orthodox Churches will celebrate the Epiphany on January 6. While, we do not know the exact time the Wise Men were able to worship, the Lord Jesus, we know that is an historical fact.   This event was recorded. in Matthew 2.

... I will do a new thing

Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.

Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
