[LENTEN DEVOTIONAL] Thursday, March 19

THURSDAY,  MARCH 19
 
Genesis 1:31 
And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good.  And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
 

Genesis 2:2  And on the seventh day, God ended his work which he had made, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
 


Holy Father, give us the intelligence to follow your pattern in our very busy lives.  Let us examine each day, to look at what we have accomplished (or have not), to take stock of the precious time we are allotted and how we have used it.  Do we balance our days giving time to family and friends, our activities at church, helping out the less fortunate, taking care of our homes?  If so, our lives are very full and we should take the “seventh day to rest”, to take stock of where we are, to go to church and thank God for his benevolence, to enjoy family and life in general.
 

Prayer:
  Dear Heavenly Father, please don’t let the days you have given us here on Earth slip by without our acknowledging all the blessings you have bestowed upon us.  Amen.
 

Barbara Buchanan
