Forty Days of Seeking Him – March 1st - Being Positive and Kind #Lent

Lent-Button-2012

Today's suggestion from one of my Lenten Guides:

  March 1 - "Resolve to only say positive things about yourself and others today."

 Oh, My.  About Myself, too?  Only Positive?  Can I do it?  I am so good at encouraging and lifting up other people, but I am so hard on myself.   I have made self deprecation an art form!

 ... But isn't that the whole purpose of the Passion?  It was for ME.  Flaws, insecurities, and all...

Worthy

I can also be rather snarky when I perceive things as ridiculous or absurd.  Today, I will be very conscious of my word choices.  

 "Whatsoever you do to the least of my people, you do unto me... "

 I'm going to need some prayers today.  :)

This morning, I was at the kick off meeting for a new group at our parish, MOMS. One of the ice breakers had us sharing things about ourselves, including moments that made us proud, etc. It was such a challenge for many to come up with things they thought were 'share worthy.' I think it gets hard for some of us to not be harsher on ourselves. Great reminder for today!
