Life is lent

For many people Lent is a season for making sacrifices - going without meat, sugar or whatever. Perhaps we also need to remember that life itself is only lent. We came into the world at no cost to ourselves. We didn't purchase our existence or do anything to deserve it. One day we will have to give it back and be accountable for the ways` in which we have invested our years on earth. We tend to think that all are mortal except ourselves but sure enough the day of accounting is coming for all of us. By the grace of God we can face that day with confidence not simply because we are good but becuse God is.
