Over a week later, something is still lingering.
We left for Florida for a nice long weekend on Ash Wednesday. For some reason our plane left an hour late. I'm not judging here, but you should have seen how upset so many of the passengers were about the delay and the mix-up with first class. I noticed one couple was obviously Catholic since they had ashes on their foreheads. (By the way, they aren't who I am talking about-- they seemed very relaxed about the situation.) Wouldn't it be strange to see them freaking out because of an hour delay? None of them had young children traveling with them and at least they weren't driving! I bet most of them were going just to have fun in the sun like we were. As I watched everyone's reaction it got me thinking...
What if all Christians went through life with His ashes on their foreheads... everyday? We would definitely stand out. Would we treat each other differently? Would we make the same choices? Would we act differently and maybe have a little more Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Gentleness, Faithfulness and Self Control? I know people wear crosses around their necks, but the ashes just seem more serious.
Lord, help me remember that people are watching!
