Listen to the Silence: A Time for Reflection

Today is Palm Sunday for Christians. 

The long fronds of palms will be distributed at church services throughout America. Many people bend them into crosses, symbolic of the cross on which Jesus Christ died.

We are getting closer to the glorious celebration of Easter, just one week away.

The sorrow of Christ's passion will be re-lived during the coming days, called Holy Week among Christians. It is a time for reflection.

During the weeks leading up to Easter, one is supposed to fast, give things up, and prepare.

It's good to look within and spend some time in silence. None of us do that very often. The world in which we live is usually quite noisy and lives are crammed with busy activities.

If possible, take some time today to be alone, even if for a few fleeting moments.

Stand in the sunshine, (if there is any where you live), and feel its warmth upon your face.

 Listen to nature's sounds around you.

Go deep within to reflect and to savor the precious gift of life as well as to spend time with your Creator.

May your Sunday be filled with peace.

DO YOU TAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF?
