Have you ever used the expression, “I’m maxed out,” or “My plate is too full?” Both sayings imply that you can’t take on one more thing, whether it be a task or emotional weight. Then there’s the expression, ‘full to the brim,’ which sounds similar but has a different meaning. ‘Full to the brim’ implies that your cup overflows in a good way.
Our theme this Lent is Full to the Brim. This theme invites us to invest in a relationship with our God who pours out grace on us, our God whose love for us overflows. My challenge to you this Lent is to examine your life and the places where you’re maxed out: at capacity. What can you let go of this Lent so that you can fill your life with good things from God?
This Lent we join five other PCUSA churches in the Wichita area in sharing this theme. As part of our shared Lent the pastors from these churches will share pulpits. Catherine preaches in Derby on the first Sunday of Lent and at Westwood on the fifth Sunday of Lent. We welcome pastors from Covenant and First Wichita.
