I noticed the black smudge on my forehead as I looked in the mirror and it reminded me that today is the first day of lent…the first day of spring training…so to speak. This is my chance to get in shape, to do a little self-discipline. This is my chance to work on the person I need to be…the person God wants me to be.
Training is necessary to get in shape for the race. Fasting and abstinence is eating right. My goal for the next forty days is to build some spiritual muscle mass.
Whoever thought up lent was on the right track. What a great reminder that our body returns to the earth and our soul returns to God, our creator.
Thank you Lord for these forty days
Sometimes I get a little sideways
But it's your forgiveness that does amaze
So let my voice sing Your praise.
It is You who sets my heart ablaze
Upon Your face I hope to gaze
You’re my Father when it comes to padres
Thank you Lord for these forty days.
Amen
