Everything is Lent

It was back in high school, in a Bible class on a weekday morning, that I was first impressed that nothing was mine. The simple pronoun “my” was actually the first clue to see that that “thing” was actually—not mine. 

Everything, in fact, is given and lent to me for a season. My hands, my arms, my eyes, my school books, my time, my parents, my family, my belongings….it’s an unending list.

So, God lends people and things for a season; He may also take these things away. But for every season, for every person, all are gifts from the Lord and require that I remember to be…..


thankful.
