I've been feeling a decided lack of compassion lately. I feel like I've let hatred and negativity make a home for itself in my heart. I need to work on that.
You're not the only one. Usually I've been much more cognizant of other people, but I know spritually I've been off balance for months, as in not going to church, not being connected to at all to praying. I even forgot today was Ash Wednesday; for some reason I had it in my mind that it was next week.
But that might be my lesson, my task this season: reconnecting.
I do try to fast once a week during Lent and I don't talk about it with most people either although, my girl (non-church going soul that she is) remembered that it was Ash Wednesday and even works with me when I'm fasting. It drives her nuts ("What? What's today? You're fasting today?") but she really tries so that helps.
