Lent Approacheth

Well here I am, back down to earth after my recent expeditions and wondering where January went. Why, it's been nearly a week since I last blogged, for a start! I can't believe  that Lent is almost with us. Not yet, surely? Yet I spotted a  large pile of last year's Palm crosses in church yesterday waiting to be turned into ash,  so it must be so.

So, with Ash Wednesday in mind, here's a link to another of the marvellous blessings by Jan Richardson of The Painted Prayerbook - Ash Wednesday: Blessing the Dust.

  1. What a beautiful poem/ blessing! It's been a while since I looked at The Painted Prayerbook so thanks for the reminder. Can't believe Lent is so nearly upon us...

  3. Well, then - this must be the after party; far more fun. Thanks for passing by (love the "fur in the paint" blog name btw - another cat-lover I see). I've popped my head round the "door" of your blog and look forward to exploring it more later - busy day today.

Welcome to my blog. I always love receiving comments; do feel free. If you're visiting from the A-Z challenge (or even if you're not!) could I thank you for your patience in using the dreaded captcha verification thingy. It's a pain, I know, but I've had problems with spam in the past and would rather keep Greenpatches as a junk-free zone.
