Bran Muffins and Listening to Lent

 



With a crazy busy weekend ahead of me, it's good to stop for a moment at the beginning of this Friday, and just eat my bran muffin.

Later we'll venture out a bit, to run a few errands, and also to stop in at the church for some day-before-a-big-event tasks.  

The big event is, of course, Highview's Haiti Dinner and Silent Auction raising funds for our dear Seniors who live at a place called Auberge des Vieillards (Resort for the Elderly) in Pignon, Haiti.

Plus on Sunday we'll be sharing a report on all things Haiti in the morning at Highview.  So exciting to know that good and beautiful things are happening in surprising ways in surprising places.  

AND I am definitely booked for a nap Sunday afternoon.  And pacing myself today, like I've been trying to do all week.

Next week begins a different kind of space for me, I think.  A span of time where all the big things are done for a bit, and I can focus on ... well, I'm waiting to see exactly what I will be led to focus on.  While there are important matters to tend to, projects to move forward on, promises to keep, due dates to keep in mind -- always will be no doubt -- I am feeling a nudge to pull in a little....and listen to Lent.

For health reasons, I have had to pay extra attention to different ways I need to be nourishing my body of late.  Hence the bran muffin.  And now, I am thinking, I'm wondering, what I am being encouraged to do differently in the nourishment of my soul.

"When I discovered Your words, I devoured them.  
They are my joy and my heart's delight."
Jeremiah 15:16
