Celebrating Lent: 2013

Lent 2013: Day 34

Have you ever watched the PBS drama Downton Abby? It’s quite remarkable, really. All about relationships. Relationships among the very, very rich and relationships among those who serve the very, very rich.

The servants of the rich are quite interesting. They have their own lives, their own disappointments, histories, loves, hates, problems. Their concerns, for the most part, are not the concerns of those they serve. And that’s the way their lives are lived.

That’s not the way we live, however – and that’s not the way we serve. We serve each other because in doing so we are serving God.

??? Is there anything in my life I do begrudgingly ???
