Lent #4 - It takes Teamwork

A good rule to follow when engaging in any venture - have a travel partner.  Remembering back to my childhood - always remined - do not go swimming alone - for safety sake - security - take someone along - two minds always better than one - if you stumble - a friend to pick you up.  The same goes for our Lenten journey - although you may walk a different path spiritually - does not mean you shouldn't have a journey partner.  Although my wife and I are doing the Catechism in a Year together - that is only one small part of our individual journeys.  She has her own journey to walk - I have mine.  In my previous post I said - It's all about you - your personal experience - that does not mean you cannot walk with someone else who is also pursuing their own journey.

When God created the Heavens and the Earth - He also created Mankind.  A man and a woman - journey partners - not identical - rather similar - each person containing their own identity.  Each had their role to play in His plan for creation.  Alone neither could have achieved their common goal - together - walking a similar - different path - side by side - under His guidance - experiencing life - the challenges - as He intended.  This Lent give a gift to yourself of a journey partner - Jesus - and a plus-one.
