"Examine yourselves, and only then eat of the bread and drink of the cup." - 1 Corinthians 11:28
Dear Friends in Christ -
By this point in Holy Week, I've done it all. Yelled at my adorable kids. Ignored my loving husband. Shouted unkind words at people "in my way" in traffic. Lied to myself and others . . . by not being sober about my finitude and overextending. Watch out. Cheating and stealing could be next. At this point in Holy Week I know the truth: I really am capable of anything . . .
The Angel on my shoulder (the same one who was at the open tomb??) says, "OK, then. That means you're ready. Ready to let go and let God. Ready for Resurrection . . .
"Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There's crack in everything
That's how the light gets in." (Leonard Cohen)
Bring on the light!
Unfaithfully - and yet, by grace, still here with God and you,
Janet+
glad to hear I am not the only one who has been cranky. Guess that means I am ready!!!
