Dear Everyone,
Thank you for journeying with me on this Lenten readalong. As we approach Easter, I am struck by how much I have learned from this year’s reading of “Three Simple Rules.” I’m grateful once again to Pastor Ginny for recommending it.
In the last chapter, “Stay in Love with God,” I was surprised and pleased to see Bishop Job quoting Henri Nouwen, who is a favourite Catholic writer of mine. Even though Bishop Job isn’t Catholic, he values the wisdom of Catholic writers. Even though I’m not Wesleyan, I value Bishop Job’s wisdom and have enjoyed this year’s reading.
This week we will read the chapter entitled, “A Guide for Daily Prayer.” In this chapter Bishop Job writes, “Prayer is at the center of a transformed life.” This week, and as we approach Easter, let us reflect on our prayer life and let us devote time to prayer daily. There is much in the world that troubles us – war, tariffs, violence, poverty, and suffering. Now is the time to pray . . .
I welcome your reflections and your prayers this week and I hope that you continued to have a blessed Lent.
Peace be with you all and with your communities,
SR
I am honoured to have had all three of my novels appear on the New York Times and USA Today Bestseller lists. I was a Semifinalist for Best Author in the 2011 and 2012 Goodreads Choice Awards. {
This book was a perfect pick for this Lenten read. It has opened my heart to a new way of living everyday. If everyone in the world followed these 3 rules, even if we failed some days and we would, it would be a wonderful world. I pray for God to help me everyday to do no harm, do good and to help be love God every morning and through encounters through the day. It helps to be reminded and it makes a difference in how I react and act in every circumstance. Thank you again for doing the read along. God bless you SR.
Peace to you and yours and your community.
Thanks very much, Lori.
Glad you enjoyed it.
I hope you have a Happy Easter, SR
