2.13.13

When I arrived tonight prior to the service, my friend said "I suggested you as the second communion assistant and PM said let's give her a break..." I am sure this was said for a reason.. but when you hear it... many different reasons jump into your head.. I asked yesterday.... "When we stop and think about what people said to us today... What do you remember? .....what would people say you said to them today?"  And I challenged that no matter what you decided to do for Lent... "give something up or make a promise to do something? perhaps something with your words is in order???
When you awaken to a wonderful Wednesday, words will work wonders, don't you think?" 

When I wrote this.. I never imagined Pastor Mary's sermon tonight would be along these lines... The mark we received today is a reminder of the sacrifice... those of us who received our ashes early in the day, had a reminder all day... but if you did not have a physical reminder what would you say is a reminder of the sacrifices made for us?   There are many people who touch our lives on a daily basis... why? What did they do? When you think about the people in your life.. what would you say is your mark on them? What would you say is your mark from this day?  
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and for the first time in many.. I am looking forward to it... it happens to fall on Thankful Thursday.... be sure to tell those special valentines.. why you are so thankful.....
