LENTEN PHOTOS 2016: Week 7
March 24-March27, 2016
During 2016 Rethink Church, a ministry of the United Methodist (Church) Communications, is sponsoring a Lent photo-a-day challenge based on reflections and perceptions of their word for the day.
Each Thursday during Lent I will post the coming week’s words and matching photos—sometimes with an explanation.

PATH
Our paths in life are often as confusing—if not
more confusing—as the paths in the Treworgy Family’s

Thank you, Carolyn.
Need. Path. Enter. Celebrate.
You broke this down into such a simple message. Bless you.
I think that your gate photo doesn’t look entirely welcoming, but this is how the invitation may sometimes seem to us. Also, we might “enter” into relationship with Christ at any point along our path, and it might not lead directly to a party (celebration), depending on our unique path, or how much of our path lays beyond the gate. This is quite a mystery, and I’m so grateful that it always ends well!
