You Are Precious In My Eyes

Ash Wednesday has always been the religious day that resonates most closely with my soul. I love the quiet, internal focus that it demands, coupled with the external actions that repentance brings about.

For a religious day that is mostly about death, sin and repentance, it seems strange that Ash Wednesday should bring me such deep joy and the closest I've ever come to actually feeling as though I were in God's presence.

Tonight we're going to celebrate it in a cozy little community way in our living room. I love to be creative on this day so tonight we will combine 40 candles, some ashes, a song by Adele and some clay to think about what it means when God says "You Are Precious In My Eyes."

You are humbly invited to join in. • 7:00 p.m. • Our House • You don't need to bring anything but an open heart.
