ash wednesday

Today is Ash Wednesday, the day that many Christians around the world begin Lent and devote the next 40 days before Easter to fasting, prayer, and repentance. I was reminded today the meaning of the ashes. Ashes to ashes; from dust we came and to dust we will return. Do not fear. Do not worry. For all things will pass including this life and the sufferings of this life. I was thankful for the reminder to look upward and onward, and was overcome by a sense of peace that I've been longing for this week.

I pray that all of you have peace tonight too. Remember that God is good, God is with you, and He hears your prayers.

Hannah Bee
