Today’s Reflection
I do not sit and ponder death most waking moments, but something about remembering mortality enables us to enjoy life, to live life as a thankful response to God’s giving us the opportunity to be here in this time and place. I enjoy Ash Wednesday’s invitation to live in greater awareness of God’s grace at work in our lives and the world.
—Max O. Vincent, Because of This I Rejoice: Reading Philippians During Lent (Upper Room Books, 2018)
