Lent: Prayerful and Intentional



Friday...
After a week when we perhaps did not always have peace.
After a week when perhaps we stood on the sidelines, hands in our pockets rather than act.
After a week when perhaps we eschewed God's wisdom for a new pair of shoes.

But then again...Friday
After a week when we had traces of grace.
After a week when we said what was in our hearts.
After a week when we spoke the truth in love.

Friday...
Messy and beautiful and amazing Friday.

Look back and look around.
Look out and look in.
Look with your own eyes and imagination of how God sees.

It is both/and moments of peace and when it feels as far away as Pluto.
It is both/and moments of speaking and keeping silence.
It is both/and moments of truth and saying boneheaded things.

And the messy and beautiful and amazing week...
We find God.
