The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time on and forevermore. ~Psalm 121:8
Today’s Holy Land pilgrims often depart via airplane. Imagine that we are boarding a plane together. We are flying east, toward the morning light. We feel time crumble beneath us, as a ridge of sand might crumble beneath our bare toes.
We pass through so many time zones that we are on the edge of a new day, one we have yet to live. It feels daring to be on this edge of newness. How will we be different when we make the return flight?
What “edge” might you experience this Lent?
Prayer: O Creator, I trust you with my unlived days and minutes.
