When I woke up Wednesday morning I read:
“On this Ash Wednesday, I give thanks for this holy season—a time of deep, prayerful contemplation. With faith, I commit to deepening my spiritual understanding and more fully expressing my divinity. I solemnly ask which habits or thought patterns are keeping me from being the person I want to be. I take time in the Silence to sit with this question, open to whatever wisdom comes to me.
“As I consider what to give up, I also think of what I am giving to. I release old thoughts and patterns of behavior and welcome a new way of living. I release negative thinking to give myself the gift of positivity.
“I make a sacred commitment to the process of allowing the pure expression of my Christ nature to shine brightly through and as me.”
I love this. Deepening commitment. Silence. A new way of living. Positivity. Wisdom. Light.
I believe I have been given a gift from God to express my divinity by seeing and sharing beauty, by being of service to others, by being my true self and finding ways to bring light to truth.
My mission is to connect with people, inspire people, and build community.
With connecting with people and sharing with people in mind, I look forward to the day when Susan and I can continue our volunteer work in town with 3rd and 4th graders, which has been on hold for one year because of Covid-19.
Later during the day on Wednesday, I went food shopping and saw this in the grocery store:
I couldn’t help but wonder what chocolate candy, chocolate bunnies (I do see a chocolate cross!) and peeps have to do with Easter. I’ll have to look into this.
Meanwhile, it is lightly snowing now and time for me to read a few pages in some new books:
