so grateful for the Ash Wednesday service I got to attend
at SPU yesterday afternoon and the one Anna went to at UPC last night.
"By this symbol (of the ashes) we acknowledge our own frailty and mortality; and with humility, we recognize our dependence on God. The ashes remind us "from dust we came and to dust we shall return." By embracing our own limitations and death, we begin to understand the great hope we have in Christ's resurrection."
(from SPU's Campus Ministries program)
(this also highlights that I have a lot of wrinkles...:)
Ash Wednesday reminds me of my dependence on God--
that He is the vine and I am a branch on that vine.
It reminds us that without Him, we can do nothing.
Lent is a time God invites us to remember that vital connection.
May it be a deepening season for you, Liam--
(and a bit of a countdown to your 13th birthday which will be here before we know it!)
