You Are Blessed

Today is Ash Wednesday, first day of Lent. Lent, 40 days before Easter, I attended our Ash Wednesday service at Hope UMC tonight. The Pastor gave each of us a small medallion, to remind us of this season of Lent. (after he imposed the ashes on our foreheads). One side says “Lent, a time of great blessing, season of great sacrifice”. The other side says: “Blessed Are you .. for your reward is great in heaven” - Matt. 5:12. I put mine on a chain and I think I will wear it each day throughout Lent, as a reminder.

His message was about finding time for God, making room for God in our lives. He reminded us that “there is nothing we can do, or no place we can be that God is not there with us”. It was good to be reminded of this. I know that I am blessed. I hope that each of you, my readers, also know that you are blessed!
