Shrove Tuesday…

If you’re like me, “Shrove Tuesday” may not have significance. After reading this description from Wikipedia where self-examination is involved, maybe now I know why I don’t remember this as a child…  🙂

The expression “Shrove Tuesday” comes from the word shrive, meaning “absolve“.[1] Shrove Tuesday is observed by many Christians, including Anglicans, Lutherans, Methodists and Roman Catholics,[2] who “make a special point of self-examination, of considering what wrongs they need to repent, and what amendments of life or areas of spiritual growth they especially need to ask God’s help in dealing with.”[3]

PRAYER: Dear God, on this Shrove Tuesday, please help me to seek and heed your guidance on ways to advance my spiritual growth, that I might more closely be like Christ Jesus in all I do and say. Amen

Enjoy the day, filled with the Spirit!
