A New Look For Lent??

What's this? New linens for the altar? A new look we're trying out for Lent ?
It does look a bit like sackcloth doesn't it? *L*

The other picture tells more of the story... We're having repairs at church done on the ceiling abve the altar, and so, things are in a bit of disarray around here.
The painters came in with all sorts of scaffolding on Wednesday, and discovered they needed more than they thought to get up high enough... plus a ladder on top of all that! Sure am glad I'm not the one who has to climb all the way up there... hmmm, wonder if they feel closer to God waaaay up there?? *lol*


That did get me to thinking of all the things we sometimes do... the "heights to which we climb", thinking it will get us closer to God somehow. God doesn't tell us we have to do some kind of extraordinary things to get His attention, to get closer to Him, He simply says., "Come to me... "
We also know this is true... “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” James 4:8

How do we get to know friends better? By spending time with them, by talking and listening with them and to them. Same with God, prayer is communicating with God, talking to Him and listening as well. Spend time reading about God too, in scripture... Hey, what a novel idea, eh?!

So, don't think you have to have tons of scaffolding and planks and ladders, and be on the highest peak to get closer to God, He meets us right where we are...and that's pretty awesome!

Hey, this would be a cool idea for an assemblage.... let's see what God will bring to mind as I explore the dungeon basement here for some of my collected "treasures of loot" for ideas for another assemblage piece.... More to come from this at a later date, I hope....
