Lent

Vivi and I had a conversation a few nights ago about lent. Both of us are faith based bad girls. Ha. But all kidding aside, we are both sure of a higher power, we choose to call GOD. We believe in Jesus, the Saints and power of prayer. Both of us have experienced our own miracles at different stages in our lives.

We were trying to think of some way we could make a difference this Lenten season. Years past for me anyway, It was a personal journey. We muled over doing a prayer request kind of thing. Then thought better of that idea, only because we both know how involved that can get. And quite frankly, neither of us have that kind of time right now.

Tonight I was reminded of a story I read some years back. During WWII there were a group of people under Churchill
who dropped what they were doing every day at a certine hour, for one minute they would collectively pray for the safety of England, its people and peace.

Every day we search for stories to bring to this blog. Reading so much world news can kind of get depressing at times. There is so much evil and destruction going on in our world. If you really think about it all at once, it can become over bearing at times.

My thougth was this. If each one of us could take a time out, even if for a minute to pray, for peace, it just may make a difference.

This post would not even be going up if Vi and I were not sure of the power of prayer. If you choose to read this post and ignore it as a bunch of hog wash, that's fine. If you care to join us in our prayers, no need to respond. Simply do it. Lord knows nothing else seems to be working at this point. You don't have to make your request in any formal kind of way. Just a simple........hey GOD, it's me Cindi, I know you haven't heard from me in a while, BUT i AM BACK.

We hope this season of Lent brings a new life to each of you. If anyone has a special Lenten story they would like to share, please do. We love to share!
