With Ash Wednesday tomorrow Lent will have officially begun!
I know I'm making sound exciting but as we said in Chapel, it is really about reflection, about creating change in our lives, returning to what gives life, to what is the essence of our lives, and to make space fr prayer, to share our life with God.
Traditionally people give something up for Lent (the forty week days of Lent until Easter), some give up chocolate, a TV Programme, Lollies, ice-cream and so on. Another approach is to do something. So this might mean be conscious of saying thank you, of giving so many compliments (sincerely) a day or week, for doing an extra job you know will make a difference, or volunteer.
Is your life perfect? So what area would yo like to change for the better?
Let this be your challenge maybe - one little thing, one day at a time (weekends off to catch your breath).
Accept the cross of ash after chapel, as a start point to new life, or a little change towards where you want to be.
God Bless
