A Lenten Devotion by Fran Bogle
But those who hope in God will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40:31
Lent begins with pancakes and ashes.
Treats to remember what Jesus gave up?
Ashes to recall death and new life?
Trees grow from soil enriched by death, compost of lives and leaves.
Life is born from seeds planted long ago…
Undiscovered until freed by fire or flood.
Hope flies anew as we dare to believe that all things are possible.
Come fly with me…
Holy Spirit, pour into our lives with hope, love and courage. Help us fly every day with you as we journey with Jesus toward Jerusalem. Amen
