Saturday, first week of Lent
The house was filled with people and laughter, as guests joined us for dinner. We need friends along the journey- to come alongside us, remind us and to enjoy life with. So much of the "work" of Lent is solitary-fasting,repenting, praying, giving, but the fruit of this spiritual work is felt in relationship. Have we made provision in our souls for the times we travel alone so that we journey better with others?
Medicine from Sacred Scripture:
"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work; if one falls down, his friend can pick him up. But pity the man who falls down and has no one to help him up! also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not easily broken." Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
