My reflection:
“The trouble with so many of us is that we underestimate the power of simplicity. We have a tendency it seems to over complicate our lives and forget what’s important and what’s not. We tend to mistake movement for achievement. We tend to focus on activities instead of results. And as the pace of life continues to race along in the outside world, we forget that we have the power to control our lives regardless of what’s going on outside.” Robert Stuberg
Let us remember that God is always walking with us.

My reflection is from Living Faith:
But my trust is in you, oh Lord; I say, “You are my God.” Psalm 31:15
“The tree in my front yard puzzled me. One side leafed out fully before the other side even got started. I was convinced the tree was sick until one of my kids pointed out the rather obvious fact that the early leafing half faced east and got more sun during the day.
I wonder sometimes if the impact of God’s love and mercy on my life is like that. Oh, he bathes me in his light– no doubt – but am I only allowing it to impact part of my life, my concerns, my priorities and my choices? Am I only half in bloom?
Lent is the time to take stock of that, isn’t it? The word itself comes from an old English word for ‘spring’- lencten. Maybe part of my journey is to remember that I am not like that tree. I can move. I can adjust. I can open my arms and welcome God’s warmth on all sides, letting him bring every corner back to life with his light, rising from the east every day.
Lord Jesus, warm and nourish every part of my life with your light.” Amy Welborn

My reflection:
“Material wealth definitely has its merits – but it alone cannot provide the riches of a truly meaningful life. A truly meaningful life possesses an inherent sense of both self and purpose. It celebrates truth, love, and freedom and remains forever appreciative of its blessings. It is a life that gives and cares and makes a difference in endless poignant ways. It leaves the world a far better and brighter place than it would have otherwise been.” Lynn Keachie

My reflection:
“A little more joy, a little less stress, a lot more recognition of your wonderfulness.
Abundance in your life, blessings in your days, dreams that come true, and hopes that stay.
A rainbow on the horizon, an angel by your side, and everything that could ever bring a smile to your life.” Douglas Pagles

My reflection:
“Believe that God hears you when you pray and responds when you call on Him.
Share with Him your feelings and remember that He said, ‘Be not afraid. I am with you always and I will always be. Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything.’
Don’t forget to praise Him and honor Him with your trust, your confidence and your gratitude.”

Too many people put off some thing that brings them joy…
“I got to thinking one day about all those women on the Titanic who passed up desert at dinner that fateful night in an effort to cut back. From then on, I’ve tried to be a little more flexible.” Erma Bombeck
How true! We need to take each moment and enjoy it.
