Having not grown up in a church that celebrated Lent, I need to remind myself to do so. It is a good daily reminder of the passing of time. The cycles of the church.
This year I found a video series...posted daily...under 5 minutes each... that I am really enjoying. A simple reading from the gospel of John. After a bit of searching I figured out it is read from the CEV ...Contemporary English Version...which is refreshing.

Walk with us. Such a relevant plea. How often do we rush into the day without the basic request for God to walk with us? As a Christ follower, of course He is always with me. But for my sake I need to ask Him into the situations. I need to remember that I am never alone.
Jesus told his disciples, (including me) "I will be with you always, even until the end of the world." (John 28:20 CEV)
A lovely series as we walk together towards the celebration of Easter. Do you observe Lent?

I will check out that site...sounds really good.
ReplyDeleteI haven't always observed Lent and I have had to pause and not make the time all about what I am going to do or not do and make it more about concentrating on Jesus.
I have been working my way through the Gospels and I am also using a devotional called 40 Days of The Jesus Creed and loving it.
Bless you Grace!
