Holy Tuesday – A Reflection

This Rocky Mountain Elk Yearling was at our outdoor Chapel after lunch. A guest preacher? A visitor? Just passing through? After the morning I had at work, this was a perfect time to simply Be Still in the present moment.

Today is Holy Tuesday

Lord, you taught your disciples

As you approached the end of the road

As you approached the cross you said

The light is with you for a little longer. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. If you walk in the darkness, you do not know where you are going. While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become children of light. (John 12:35-36)

I have been walking with so many lately

Walking through the Valley of the Shadows

Through Strategic Planning for our Congregation

So much to do

So little time

Yet you call me to Be Still

In the hustle and bustle of Jerusalem

In the frantic preparations for Passover

Help me to slow down and savor that message

Walk while you have the light

So the darkness cannot overtake you

The light shines in the darkness

The darkness has not overcome it

Lord, show us the way this and every day

May we become Children of Light

Lead us, we pray…
