Lent 2015

“There were people who went to sleep last night,
poor and rich and white and black,
but they will never wake again.

And those dead folks would give anything at all
for just five minutes of this weather
or ten minutes of plowing.

So you watch yourself about complaining.

What you're supposed to do
when you don't like a thing is change it.
If you can't change it,
change the way you think about it.”
― Maya Angelou

Beautiful. Thank you.

Maya Angelou always had such wise words.

Those really resonate with me today - a friend from church was not there this morning to do door duty for she had gone to bed two nights ago and simply didn't wake up.

Oh my! My condolences, dear. Yet Easter is the promise you will see her again.
