Lent- 2008

Today was the celebration of Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent - the next 40 days will be our test as Christians to accept what has come to pass and to transcend all that God
has put on us.

God did not take David away to test our faith, our strength, our love. He took David away because it was his time. Our time will come too, maybe not today or tomorrow, but it will come. Our test now is acceptance, not to question but to give in and to grow in our faith and our love.

It will be hard as we go through this period of Lent without David, it was hard when we went through Christmas and the New Year and it will be hard when Easter comes but acceptance is something we have to pray for.

I thank God for the blessing of David in our lives, though brief, I thank God for the memories and the countless blessings we will receive through our brother's ministering.

Thank you God for the gift of David.

God bless and have a blessed Lenten season all.
