Lint as Lent

WHAT IS LENT?
On the way to All Saints
"Lent Event 2009"a mother
listened to the conversation
between her two children.

One child wondered aloud:
"What is Lent, anyway?"

The sibling responded:
"It's the stuff on your clothes."

taken from here.

Ah yes - out of the mouths of babes -
but that is pretty close -
what is sticking to us that we need to remove?

That's cute. And just like the sort of thing children sometimes say. Quite believable!

Such good thoughts! I hope you don't mind me lifting it to my blog? I've been at a loss about writing lately. Thank you.

Excellent! That certainly is part of Lent, isn't it, seeing what sticks that perhaps you don't want to!
