three

preparing for lent

from Ash Wednesday until now...

i've tried to give my time, give of myself

to faltering relationships.

a phone call, a letter, a kind word.

instead of ...silence and absence.

how am i doing??

not great.

so...

For week three: repeat week one and week two.

Repeat and repeat and repeat.

my (sometimes small) attempts at giving peace to others:

reaching out instead of looking inward

showing mercy instead of heaping judgement

holding my tongue instead of lashing out

praying for patience instead projecting irritation

respecting imperfection instead of resenting "annoying" behaviour....

could use a lot more practice.

maybe a lifetime of practice.

a song about forgiveness and the beauty of Grace.

my heart knows this is where PEACE begins..
