entering the mystery of lent

Hope. 

Wintering is nearing the end of her threshold

-maybe 

(not today here in Ontario😉 swipe👈 to see what I mean- 1st photo 9pm last night; 2nd photo 5:20am after 15 cm of snow today. Can't see the drifts well up to door)!

Hope.

The mystery of Lent.

As ash is placed on our foreheads in the shape of the cross and words from Genesis spoken, "Remember you are dust and to dust you shall return," we are reminded of Jesus final journey to Jerusalem and the hope He brings.

I like to view  Lent as  a challenge  to make a difference for 40 days (thanks to the UK based charity 40 Acts for this generosity challenge). A challenge of generosity  and spiritual discipline.  Rather than giving something up.

40 days.

40 ways to make a difference. 

40 generous prompts delivered throughout Lent (swipe👈 to see day 1 challenge).

Generosity. 

Spiritual  Discipline. 

Hope.

As we come close to the mystery of Easter

I wonder

How I will grow and learn and view hope.

Will you wonder with me?
