Last week I stopped by a work establishment to say hello to a couple of people. I went to see these friends in their breakroom.

After my short visit as I was leaving, I commented to my friends that the clock on the wall in the room had stopped and offered to help them change the battery in it if that would be helpful.

Much to my surprise they said almost in unison, “we do not pay attention to that time.”

That response caught me off guard a bit. It reminded we that as we are in the season of Lent, time is important. We do want to pay attention to the time and season we are in. We want to intentionally make a prayerful effort to reflect on Jesus’ sacrifice to save us. It was a sacrifice based on how much he loves each of us; a sacrifice that should leave us with a sense of wonder and awe.

Take time to become better people by showing your love of God in what you say and do.

This is a time to thank God for being so good to us.

May God gives us that grace.

The noun, rumination, means a deep considered thought about something.
