Pause For Thought
From Rev Sharon Grenham Toze, an Anglican priest and prison chaplain:
"Spring’s nearly here, (at last) but it’s still a bit chilly in the evenings isn’t it. So one of the things I love doing is lighting a fire in the evenings. Well, having an open fire’s all very well, but someone has to clean it every day, and clear out all the ashes. It’s a mucky job, and always takes a lot longer than you’d think. But we have to do it, because without the clean up, the fireplace will soon get all clogged up, wood won’t burn, and we’ll be back to shivering again.
This struck me as a good image for today, Ash Wednesday, which is the beginning of the 40 days of Lent. During Lent Christians are expected to take a long, hard look at their lives, and attempt to make changes where they’re needed. It’s like having a good clear out of all the dark and mucky stuff in our lives. It’s so important, because, like that fireplace, without a clean up, our souls and our lives get all clogged up, and any warmth we had inside us gets slowly frozen out.
Ashes are a traditional sign of repentance, which is why Christians will often have the sign of the cross made with ashes on their forehead today – it’s a reminder to them, and the rest of the world, that this is the beginning of a serious time of self-examination.
A lot of people ‘give things up’ for Lent – chocolate maybe, or meat, or swearing. That’s good as a bit of self-discipline, but we don’t magically live a good life just because we don’t swear or we lose a few pounds, especially if we go back to our old ways as soon as we can. Sometimes it’s better to take something up for Lent – maybe helping someone out every day, or stopping to count our blessings every morning. You never know, by the time the 40 days are up, it may have become a good habit we decide to keep." -
