For those who dwell in the southeastern part of the U.S., the beginning of Lent coincides with our anticipation of winter's last gasp and the welcomed arrival of spring. How appropriate that as the blooming daffodils and Japanese magnolias beautifully proclaim the cycle of life, we are called to ponder our cycle of life and our relationship with the Giver of Life.
On this first day of Lent, the sight of foreheads smudged with ashes reminds us of our physical mortality, as they speak to us of resurrection. During this season, may you pause...may you ponder.
