Jesus said "I am"....
Spring cleaning is happening @ my house- preparation is being made in anticipation of some very special visitors- they wouldn't care if I did this extra stuff but as a woman it's a way I express I'm glad they're coming by doing the extras around the house. Lent is also a time to do the extras- most people may not be aware at all that the extra is being done- because it's spring cleaning within our minds, habits, attitudes and behaviors. This lent I've been thinking about Jesus' words from the New Testament gospel of John- "I am... the vine, the gate, the bread of life, the way, truth & life, the good shepherd, the light of the world, the resurrection and the life" why am I pondering Jesus' words as I go about my spring cleaning- it's quiet, funny thing is 'no one bothers me when I cleaning', the guys get lost- 'hey', that means I can think without interruption... more than that it is so I can renew myself to be "Christ's heart, hands and feet" to the corner of this world that I live and move in.
What have you been thinking about this Lenten season?
