Anyone indulging today?? I didn't realize that it was Mardis Gras until I was watching the Today Show this morning. That got me thinking quickly about Lent. We just finished a segment in church about putting God first. We have also spent some time in Sunday school discussing prayer. In an effort to put these teachings into action, I'd like to spend some time during this season of Lent in deeper prayer and devotion with the Lord.
Sunday evening while the snow was falling I was cuddled up on my bedroom floor sitting next to the fire. I was reading Hannah's Prayer from 1 Samuel and was overcome by a sense of beauty. I love those moments where you truly connect with God. This particular moment was especially beautiful, given the snowy scene. I'm currently reading a daily Bible verse, but am eager to delve deeper over the next several weeks.
In the past I've given up baked goods (ah, deprivation!) and have even given daily compliments to others to express my love. I hope that this year I draw closer to Him through the study of His word and our quiet time together.
