As I leave the kitchen table from my Bible reading this morning, moving into the few tasks ahead… may I take time to be still throughout this day. To focus on what He did for me. May I reflect upon the hours He suffered, after already suffering such humiliation and utter betrayal.
May I rest quietly later, thinking about the darkness, the mocking assassins, His Mama watching… in her own searing pain.
May I close my eyes and envision the curtain being torn in two. Removing the divide between a Holy God and my sinful self. May I deeply reflect upon all that He gave up.
May I never get so accustomed to Jesus’ death that it doesn’t make me cry. May I never get so accustomed to the Resurrection that it doesn’t leave me in awe and amazement.
This Holy “Week” has still passed too quickly. I have not devoted enough time to His Holiness. May today be holy. Reverent. Slower. Aware. Grateful. Praying. May I stop again and again and again throughout this day – remembering.
Beautiful reminder. Thank you for it and may you and your family be blessed by remembrance of all He has done.π

We had meaningful services on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. You took more time for private reflection than I did. I shall try to follow your example.
