My reflections of Lent continue with another 40 day experience of the flood. You can find it in Genesis 7:12
God saw the world was full of sin and wanted to start over again. Noah received a special mission to build a boat that wasn’t for fishin’. He loaded up animals two by two and set off in his big floating zoo. Forty days and forty nights it rained but Noah’s family was sustained. The church is symbolized by a boat which the Holy Spirit keeps afloat. We can get closer to God at Lent when more time with the church is spent. Our forty day Lenten journey can lead to overcoming things that impede in our efforts to start over anew and do the things we know we should do.

40 days of Lent, like the forty years of desert wandering, where put there, in front of us, to test our patience and fortitude in faith.
But, we are challenging, again, a mighty God which will have not unlimited patience to prodigal sons going on heartless criminals.

The true essence of Lent is beautifully written - start anew doing the things we know we should do and making them part of who we are. Powerful food for thought during this observance.

God bless you. Kathy

I sat outside a store and became aware of the flower pots in front the store and I thought how it must feel about the attention given to the flowers.
