Forty Days and Forty Nights
I am preparing myself for Fat Tuesday, Feb 12, 2013. After that, it will be 40 days and 40 nights of Lenten season in the Christian world.
During this period, I will focus on Pilgrim’s Progress; series of short stories of my experience with a spiritual twist. A period of cogitation, contemplation and vegetation; not necessarily in this order. And of course, there will be humour. For my God has a sense of humour. He created me!
Daily Prompt has to be sacrificed in order for me to pay attention to my spiritual needs. I am pressing the Pause Button. Should these stories touch a few nerves or spark your divinity, the responsibility is yours on how to act on it.
I will miss the daily fun and mostly I will miss the interaction with you as a community. At any rate, there is a time for everything. With the help of Patricia of day of grace, I feel peaceful about this decision. This is a I calling, a prompting mentioned in my About page.
This time is God’s time.
With love and prayers, Perpetua aka seeker.
One Minute Meditation:
The Master gave his teaching in parables and stories, which his disciples listened to with pleasure and occasional frustration, for they longed for something deeper. The Master was unmoved. To all their objections he would say, “You have yet to understand, my dears, that the shortest distance between a human being and Truth is a story.” Another time he said, “Do not despise the story. A lost gold coin is found by means of a penny candle; the deepest truth is found by means of a simple story.” – Anthony de Mello, SJ
MORSEL:
People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the seas, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and yet they pass by themselves without wondering. – St. Augustine of Hippo
My youngest and I were just having a discussion about Lent. She thought could sacrifice my blog for the 40 days. You have given me another idea – reflective postings and sacrifice the daily prompt. 🙂 D 34
I thought about being off the air and then I asked Patricia to help me pray about this. Then I woke up one morning with the prompting of the Holy Spirit and this is the result. TaDa. If the idea is good, I hope your son will give you his blessings. _/\_ Peace, D34
My youngest is my daughter, she is not giving her blessings tonight, as she thinks those in Ethiopia need them more! Love the thoughts of the young 🙂 D 34
Awe, remind her when she grows up that she actually thought of that. Kids are very generous, eh.
Will do 🙂 D 34
I look forward to what the Lord does in your life during this time. May your experience so many others.
May your experience be a blessing to others.
Thank you. The person who gave me the experience is the blessed one.
I learned a lot from your responses and your post Ms. enitsirk. I’m looking forward to it.
Oops!!! You haven’t stared the fast. 🙂
