Day 248 of the journey
Beauty for Ashes
Today's stop rests on Isaiah 61:3. It takes about a minute.
“To bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes.”
Isaiah 61:3
The reflection
Not ashes tidied away and forgotten. Ashes taken and exchanged, which means they had to be handed over first.
One step forward
Hand over what has burned down.
A short prayer
Lord, you said it and I want to believe it. Where I can't yet, hold me anyway. Let these words go with me into the rest of today. Amen.
