March 6
“I have set before you life and
death, the blessing and the curse.”
Our readings
today are all about choices, and invite us to think about the many choices we
are called to make every day. We call
ourselves Christian as followers of Jesus, but does that calling really show in
how we live our lives? Do we actually spend much or any time in actual prayer
and fasting? Do we treat others with
love and respect, even on days when they may not be very lovable? Perhaps rather than “giving up” something
this Lent, we might instead consider what we might do for others….spend time
with a grandchild, visit a sick friend, offer to take someone to church. These
can be good first steps on our Lenten journey.
