Quotes of the Week

We have lots to reflect on with Ash Wednesday and the start of the Lenten season--so we have several quotes this week!

"We don't see things as they are, we see things as WE are."- The Talmud

"God can do no more for us than God can do through us."- Eric Butterworth

"I am the only body God has"- Barbara Fiand

It is important to remember that it doesn't end with the crucifixion of Jesus; rather, it is the RESURRECTION that is the Pinnacle of our faith. 

So, as we think about these quotes-- try to ask yourself the following questions:

1. What are some of the struggles in my "container"?

2. How will I face and move through the current challenges in my life?

3. How will you rise?

We must recognize that Lent is a time of preparation, reflection and "cleaning out" the negativity and obstructions that keep us from personal growth and solid relationship with God.

If you are full of unhappiness and negativity-- that is what you will give to people. It's important to "clean out" your container to make sure you are giving is pure, positive, and a reflection of your best self.
