The prayerful things,
fasting
what we give up for Lent
to remember God’s sacrifice
different than the New
Year’s resolutions
Lying in the dust, abandoned
set apart from the rest
Walking differently, slowing
down,
thinking about our Savior
choosing to change our lives
as a reminder of His
sacrifice
Giving up a bit of our
selfishness
spending more time with the
Lord
Hoping in these talismans
these memory reminders
these bits of string tied
around our fingers
that we would be forever
changed
By the story of God’s love,
his grace
and the sacrifice of our
savior
