2/25/23--In Secret
In Lenten Devotional - 2023

When I read this section today, I remembered a time when I was teaching sixth grade at Scott-Rowland Middle School in Harrisburg. I was on lunch duty for the 7th graders and I noticed 2 brothers not eating lunch, not even drinking anything. They assured me they were fine. The next day I noticed the same 2 brothers not eating. Concerned that their family may have had some financial problems, I decided to talk to the head administrator. He promised me he would check this out. I know by now you guessed that they were celebrating Ramadan. That made a very deep impression on me. A child shall lead them. (Isaiah 11:6)

I would change the prayer at the end to read... O, God, soften our hearts to forgive those we would call family, friends, and neighbors.

This reminded me of the comfort or quilt that many in our congregation have made from the old fabrics of a precious life. They are turned into a piece of comfort, warmth and love by the one who receives it. So too, in our lives, the nudges of God bring us to new understandings, new relationships, new avenues for actions. Sandy

I resonated with the verses in Psalms 51 that say, "Tune me in to foot-tapping songs, set these once-broken bones to dancing." "God, make a fresh start in me, shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life." (Sounds like Last Sunday's Formation session.) "Put a fresh wind in my sails!" From the Message
