Good Morning, God
Lord, this is the week we begin the remembrance of the foundation of our faith. We begin the season of Lent, leading to Easter. But before then we like to have one last "hurrah". Tomorrow is what we call "Fat Tuesday". In another place there is a "Mardi Gras" celebration. Basically, Lord, we look at it as one last time to "party hardy" before we get down to the business of penitence for the times we party hardy or not live the way you would like or break your commandments and sin. It's the old line, "Let us eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die".
But, Lord, your desire is not that we die, but that we have true life and have it abundantly. It is time, Lord, that when we follow your will and do your work in your way, we live far better lives - health, financial, safety and soul wise. So, Lord, rather than gorge ourselves on partying on Fat Tuesday, may we fill ourselves with your love beginning on Ash Wednesday.
In Jesus name, Amen
