Today is the 88th day of the year. Double figure eights.
How often have I set off boldly, made a sharp left, cruised a bit and then headed to the right ("Hey, I'm going in a new direction!")only to end up right back where I started. The figure eight is a peaceful pattern, smooth and almost hypnotic. Endless. Pointless.
Our days are finite and as life passes I more frequently stop to gasp at just how fast they slip by. I want to make them count. Each grain of sand should add value to someone's experience.
For day 88 I am reminded to set froth with the intent to act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with my [your] God. (Micah 6:8)
what have you given up for lent?
