(I follow Preston's blog and bounced over here after reading his response.)<br /><br />I had my own "go read psalm 103" moment a looong time ago (1989? I'm old), and the Holy Spirit had a very different lesson for me from that same psalm. (For me, it was a reminder of God's patience with my failings, that he was more patient with me than I was.) Love how the Living Word speaks different things to different people from the same passage.Dan Mhttp://www.reconcilingviewpoints.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849616750998090319.post-22672732889951418972012-02-24T12:08:05.588-05:002012-02-24T12:08:05.588-05:00 Thank you, thank you, friend.

Perhaps we can begin, however badly, by being surprised in that reminder.

We ARE indeed dust, and to dust shall return, and so how GREAT is what He has done in us!Suzanne Loughrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849616750998090319.post-34164665416944348942012-02-23T14:13:34.455-05:002012-02-23T14:13:34.455-05:00"Perhaps the only place to begin is Ash Wedne..."Perhaps the only place to begin is Ash Wednesday."<br /><br />Yes, yes. Yesterday, I found myself forgetting that I had ashes on my forehead all day. And then someone would ask me about them, or I would look in the mirror, and there they were, shockingly. <br /><br />... I just feel what you're writing a bout is kindof like that, ha.<br /><br />I am bad at wearing ashes, and remembering I am dust.Antonia Terrazasnoreply@blogger.com
