March

-

 March. “We are marching in the light of God…” I always love when the children’s choir sings this song. It goes on to say: we are living in the love of God; we are moving in the power of God; we are dancing in the joy of God.

If you haven’t heard the song: https://youtu.be/yn16ABWn20chttps://youtu.be/yn16ABWn20c 

It’s a positive way to start the month of March! How are you approaching March, and Wednesday’s Lent? Happy or dreading? My students have had a chance to reflect on what vice they will be fasting from to replace with a virtue. March can be difficult as winter isn’t over, and spring peeks through every now and then. The in-between. Sometimes we must choose to march, live, move and dance.  I find March the perfect time to plan for camping and fishing trips; planting; and other items that a person would want to get done. I also start to focus on what I want to read to deepen my faith; what directions I need to take to further working for God, and a check in with family. Finding what direction, planning, that is what marching, living, moving and dancing I need to do will help me as I wander the path…

Patience and Hope

-
 “But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.” Romans 8:25 Since the break, the people in my house have been sick. The flu has struck and is still with us. We are waiting patiently for health to return. The advantage of being ill is that you really slow down and rest. Patience and hope. Two words that fill our lives. There were things I wanted to do during my two weeks off. Instead, I must reboot. Luckily, I have the time to do so. Hope and Patience. Living our lives with hope-for what we do not yet have, and waiting patiently can bring a sense of calm on the path…

Planting

-
 “He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” Revelations 21:5 As we begin 2026, perhaps a goal can be to memorize or at least have a weekly scripture passage to live by. I have posted one I created; feel free to create your own. I am finally feeling a little better. I went yesterday and was treated for bronchitis and a sinus infection.   I have been praying that all of you are well and begin 2026 with hope. Hope, faith, and love, these three will overcome anything, and when well planted will bless you forever on the path…

What will your task be in 2026?

“ and some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,” Luke 8:2 Mary Magdalene was sent by Jesus to tell the followers he had risen. Yet I think that one of the important reasons that Mary could be given this task was that she modeled the power of Christ through his cure of her seven demons. The seven demons were overcome through Jesus. These are the seven deadly sins: pride, greed, wrath, lust, envy, gluttony, and sloth. The deadly sins are replaced with the seven heavenly virtues: prudence, justice, temperance, courage, faith, hope, and charity. As we come to New Year's and think about how we want to change the path we are on, let's make 2026 a great year. Think about replacing one of the demons that might plague you. Christ is there to help each of us with something we need to work on and replace. Who knows the tasks we will be given when we are cured?  Pray on it, reflect, then ask Christ to cure ...
