Ash Wednesday

This has been a beautiful, holy day. As you know this day is the beginning of the Lenten Season and is 40 days (not including Sundays) before Easter. The ashes from the Palm leaves from Palm Sunday are used to signify repentance before God and are marked on the forehead of the believer in the shape of a cross. While not commonly done at TSA, there are a few places that will do so. I've never had the experience personally, but imagine that it must be significant to those who have.

Another part of our day was marked by the World Day of Prayer celebration at THQ. Prayer Ambassador, Major Janet Munn led us in prayer for the work of God in TSA in South Africa. South African Sharon Bussey gave us images and descriptions of the need of prayer for South Africa. The prayer stations were helpful while we petitioned the Lord for His grace.

I have hope that your day was impressed with God's abundant grace as well.

Acts 4:33 (NASB)
33 "And with great power the apostles were giving testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and abundant grace was upon them all."
