Something to ponder and Lent is a good time for pondering. Have a blessed Lenten journey!

This time of year is always such a sweet time for me–the call to slow and listen just won’t be ignored. Lovely thoughts.

But it is a part of His story. I think if we stay on Good Friday long enough to learn that day’s lesson, then move onward, that gives me more hope. Thanks for commenting and thanks for the idea to write my own Lenten prayer based on some of these quotes. I really liked that idea.

I am honored! The Thomas Moore quote drew my attention, especially the third paragraph. To be honest, I don’t like to focus on suffering, but it’s important to seek fuller appreciation for what Jesus did for me. Then the glory of Easter will be all the sweeter!

Henri Nouwen is one of my favorite writers. Your post impacted me as it speaks to the “less” of my one word. It’s a climb but I’m making progress! Blessings, Pamela
