Claire says:

“I’m also going to focus on time this Lent. For myself, for my family, for life in general. I often find myself (like any other busy parent) juggling 10 different jobs/tasks/conversations. This Lent I’m going to make a concerted effort to stop and breathe…look up at the sky, inhale the glorious smell of spring and have a bit more clarity every day.”

Might we see Lent not simply in terms of giving up something, but as a time set aside for making space.  Perhaps we can cultivate a habit this Lent of less doing and more being…and so draw closer to each other and to God.
