Things I Learned During 40 Days of Lent

I can NOT do the daily grind alone

I have NOT a clue as to how to “do” 74

I’m a people who needs others

It is thorny for me to be still
It is complicated for me to ponder
It is neigh on to impossible for me to meditate
          Yet in the quiet is where I meet God [does Elijah ring a bell??]

Many people NEED me

I do NOT know how to be a caregiver

Giving GOOD care to my two dearest loved ones is the joy of my life

They forgive me much
          A lot
          Greatly

I am blessed

I probably will NOT know how to “do” 75 either
J And I'll try to let it be okay
I need words
          To hear words
          To speak words
          To write words
          To read words
Some of my words are s-l-o-w-l-y returning
I am grateful

Many people prayed for me during these recent dark days and empty nights
I am grateful

Every Christian needs a pastor

God is passionate about the number 40

Some of my deepest growing through Lent (40 days !!) was in the written words of other bloggers who are
          Strangers
          Voiceless teachers
          Passionate about Christ
         Moved-Away Friends

Because the tomb is empty, I want to spend 40 days rejoicing

And learning more

Jesus walked the earth—alive and real and well—teaching and proving and living—for 40 days

I'd love to have your company as I take some quiet blog-walks with Jesus.
Blessings of the New Life
