Can we try make some kind of special observance of this Ember Day? Here are some suggestions, they will obviously suit different life-styles. Try to pick one or two that would work for you:
- Spend a little time in silence today, and open your mind to God and His work in our world..
- Do some serious thinking about your spiritual life, and what you might need to confess to God.
- Read your Bible, possibly Luke's Gospel, say the first Chapter.
- If you are able, miss out a meal today, or determine to have a "plain day".
- Tell someone about Ember Days.
