Lenten Reflections #18

So lately I’ve had more time.

Weird time. Like the rest of you. 

A time that isn’t earmarked.

No rush to work. No practices after school.

Schedules are null.

Time is undefined.

So many days we ache for more hours in the day to do the I shoulds.

I should walk more, play with the kids more, cook, read…

Under any other circumstance, this would be the ideal block of time to do more.

But people are out of work, school, sports…even food.

So we fill our time with patience, prayer, almsgiving.

This too shall pass. 

I pray.
