As I get older, I am 54; these days, like Ash Wednesday, seem to have a deeper meaning. I went through the motions with good intent for so many years. Still, in my adult years, I hear sermons, songs, and scripture in a much more personal way. There are no answers for so many of life’s hardships, and God’s grace is so generous in so many spaces of everyday life with so many people, so there is comfort, encouragement and hope in what I hear in my faith journey today!
This was read at our service tonight and made so much sense. Perhaps it is not new to you, for the meaning of Ash Wednesday has been around for a long time. But maybe the words will resonate in your heart in a new way this year. I hope you will find a deeper appreciation and understanding of why Lent is an invitation to preparation before Easter.
We ended our Worship with My Jesus I Love Thee! It is one of my favorites.
