If you were traveling in another state and looking for a local restaurant, would you be enticed to go to this one based upon the outside appearance?
You now glance inside and see it filled with people. Are you feeling better about the opportunity to eat here? While I may still be a little apprehensive, one sign tells me it will all be okay.
Seeing this sign would fill me with great anticipation. I am getting fried food of some kind. This dining experience would make it a true vacation.
Top it off with some of that Southern Sweet Tea and I am set for a delightful dining experience. Sadly, I am just living the experience through photos once again. Panama City and Panama City Beach, Florida will be stops on my next trip to Florida.
Okay, back to the title of this blog post and our Lenten journey. Don't judge a book by its cover is a common phrase. Do we sometimes look at other people and judge them harshly by what we see?
Let's strive to extend grace to other people and give them the benefit of the doubt. We each carry crosses of one type or another. We can probably all benefit from a little less criticism and a little more encouragement and support.
During Lent, I will try to do several things in these pages:
1. I will try to encourage you in your journey;
2. I will ask you to ponder and reflect;
3. I will challenge you to grow.
Here is today's lesson. Complete the following sentences about yourself:
A. The five adjectives that best describe me are.....
B. My favorite way to pray is.....
C. One weakness of my prayer life is.....
The grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the love of God the Father, and the power of the Holy Spirit is with you!
