A number of weeks ago I walked with a friend as she took her daughter to the local school.  It was a city school, full of life and of other parents doing as my friend was doing.  A daily routine.

I noticed some writings on the walls of the school – various quotations and words of wisdom.  This one caught my eye.  It was a clever use of space and I could imagine the children noticing these and similar words as they walked the corridors.  I thought of parents too and that many of them must notice these messages.

LENTEN THOUGHT:  For whom were these words intended?  Pupils, parents, teachers, visitors?  Possibly for anyone with an eye to see and a desire to remember.  Good and wise words are intended for all and the hope is that their message will linger.
