Photo-a-Day Number Three: Alone

For my Lenten reading, I have been re-visiting the book Soul Cravings by Erwin McManus.

In this entry he is talking about  Belonging, having a place that takes us in, makes us part of something else.  He describes how it happens in healthy ways and not so healthy ways.

"You were never meant to be..." ends one page; the next page has a single word.

"alone"

The Invitation to Lent, in the Book of Worship, tells us that Lent was a period of preparation for converts; it was also a season of penitence for those who had fallen away from the community of faith; it was a reminder of how much everyone needs to renew their faith and how desperate we are for grace.

We aren't meant to do life alone.
