Lent — Celebrate

Got a flat on the way to church today. Disappointing. It’s the sort of thing to put a Pollyanna gloss on and pretend it’s a blessing in disguise and cause to celebrate. But it’s not. It’s just annoying.

AAA sent a tow truck driver who was there in 30 minutes and knew a place that was open and could fix me up. Convenient, nice. Not a celebration.

Sundays are days of celebration, even amid the Lenten fast. God wants to eat well, to drink well, to party and to celebrate like the match that flares to life and drives back the darkness. We live! We love! God draws near! Celebrate.
