Lenten Thoughts - Day 9

We upgraded our systems at work yesterday to Windows 7. I left not feeling very "Lent-worthy" in my head or my heart. One real long, real unproductive day.

The evening ended with our first "Holden Evening Prayer Service." It was the most amazing service I have ever been too - my kiddo agreed. The entire thing is sun - and often in the round. I thought were were hanging out on a cloud of angels.

A soup dinner was held beforehand. Made friends with the sweetest lady. A widow. Talked my ear off, but loved it all the same.

Entering Day 9 without television. I miss it - but not as much as I thought. I am loving this Lent season.

"As Lent is the time for greater love, listen to Jesus' thirst...'Repent and believe' Jesus tells us. What are we to repent? Our indifference, our hardness of heart. What are we to believe? Jesus thirsts even now, in your heart and in the poor -- He knows your weakness. He wants only your love, wants only the chance to love you." ~ Blessed Teresa of Calcutta
