Today is Ash Wednesday. This is a day where we hear “from dust you were made and to dust you shall return”; a poignant reminder of death’s presence in our lives and the grief that accompanies it. For many, when we are faced with grief, it is a time that can challenge our faith. And yet our Christian faith speaks to Christ’s presence with us in our grief and his victory over death.

Verse for Meditation: Isaiah 25:8

Action:
Today, we invite you to reach out to someone who has recently lost a loved one, or is experiencing grief. Send them a card, invite them to coffee, give them a call. Let them know that they are not alone at this time.
