As we make our way down this lenten path, we watch as life renews itself all around us. The budding trees, the bulbs emerging, grass growing, birds readying for hatching. Life! Full and vibrant.
At the end of the lenten path we find true life. We find life that has conquered all that is dark and dead.
I must get ready. Weeding and pruning, scrubbing and cleaning. Not just the outside world but within my heart.
Getting ready for life. To really live!
(Since my last blog post I've counted 40+ blessings, so I am not writing them all down here, just an excerpt from my journal.)
Counting....on my way to One Thousand! Glory to God for all things.

Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.
For His mercy endures forever.
Oh, give thanks to the God of gods!
For His mercy endures forever.
For His mercy endures forever.
Oh, give thanks to the Lord of lords!
For His mercy endures forever:
For His mercy endures forever:
