Today is Ash Wednesday, and so begins another Lent. I was reminded last Sunday our pastor that in giving something up, the point is not to prove that I can do without it, but instead to allow the longing for it to turn to prayer. Prayer is something that we could all spend more time in doing: I've taken to praying frequently for my family and a few specific friends. Perhaps this time of Lent can be a reminder that I should pray, not only for today's daily bread, but in gratitude for all the bread of my yesterdays.
