The Light Within
Candlelight transforms a room. Growing up, we lit the tapers right before holding hands to pray, the smell of turkey wafting through the room. We’d stare into the flames as we each said out loud what we were thankful for. The prayers, honest and beautiful, held the space in a moment of peace and joy.
Our Images of God Matter
I have recently been thinking about my image of God. We sometimes have to unlearn what we have learned and spend time getting to know who God is. And we need to realize that our perception of God might be off-base. In these last days of Lent, take some time thinking about your image of God. It might help us to trust the love and mercy that God always and everywhere offers to all people.
