Day 6 - April 7
Lent has been a pretty amazing experience for me this year. As we enter into Passion week I want my heart to remain sensitive to all that God is doing around me. I think with any holiday/celebration season we can get lost in the busyness of getting things done instead of sitting at the feet Jesus. For me, to often I'm Martha. Doing, going, busying myself with tasks instead of being Mary who chose to sit and quiet her heart and learn from her saviour. This next week is busy and there simply are things that have to be done. However I really want to take time to "Be still and know that I am God". I want to focus on what Jesus - the King, the creator, the ruler of all did for me. I want to pull my eyes of these earthly things and keep my eyes focused on eternity. I encourage you to take that time. Focus - "the cross before me, the world behind me"

Absolutely. good reminder. I always regret the Good Friday mornings and the Easter Sundays when I sit and listen realizing how unprepared I am to soak in the message of Christ's good news. Thanks for reminding me to get that focus for me, and the kids, as the rest of this week unfolds ever so quickly ahead of me. And then to carry that into the months ahead. Living in the "Easter Reality" all year long is the key to the chains around me.
