Week 52
Positive post Sunday, February 11, 2018- Week 52.
A full year of POSITIVE posts! I started these posts at the beginning of Lent last year only intending to write them during Lent, but family and friends encouraged me to continue. So, here I am a full year later writing my 52nd consecutive positive post. I’ve enjoyed writing these each Sunday morning and I hope they have helped others to recognize the many blessings we all have.
What a special week to complete a full year of positive posts with Ash Wednesday and Valentine’s Day falling on the same day. These two days (or one day this year) represent two of the three elements of the triangle of life, Faith and Family, which made it easy to decide what to post this week.
Here is a link to a 2 minute video that explains Ash Wednesday, a very important day for Christians, marking the first day of Lent, http://bustedhalo.com/video/ash-wednesday-in-two-minutes.
Here is a link with the history of Valentine’s Day (or St. Valentine’s Day), a bit commercial but never the less informative, http://www.history.com/topics/valentines-day/history-of-valentines-day/videos/history-of-valentines-day.
I can’t think of a better way to conclude 52 weeks of positive posts than to recognize the most positive person in my life, my Valentine and partner in faith and family, my wife Michele Rendler. No gushy social media proclamation, just my deepest respect and appreciation for all she does for our family. We are truly blessed to share our lives and Lenten journey with her once again this year.
