What will your Lenten journey entail this year? What are you giving up for Lent?
I asked God what He wanted me to give up. And His answer?
Sleep - get up early for time set apart to meet with Him
and
Self-absorption - evidently this will be the primary topic of our conversations!!
Beware of mirrors
They lead us not to see ourselves
But love ourselves
Like poor Narcissus,
Who, grasping at his image died.
They say that floating in the
Water just above his
Wide-eyed, silent face
There was a butterfly.
Had he let it lead him into wonder,
He might have loved science, not himself,
And lived to cure the world of plague.
-Calvin Miller
(Requiem for Love)
