Where has Lent gone?
So many intentions….
So few follow-throughs….
I know, you forgive me anyway.
Forgiving myself is the trick, I guess…
If you are so gracious and so loving and so forgiving,
why is it so hard for me to accept the Gift and move on,
in a state of newness and forgiveness?
Why must I keep flogging myself or walking
around as though nothing has happened and I am still
burdened by my deed or undone deed?
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if I could begin each day saying
Thank You for the Gift of new life you give This Day and
then spending the day acting as though I really appreciated
that Gift?
God, This Day, help me try…..
Amen
