Lent Photo a Day - Deep
The word deep brings to mind lots of images - deep love, deep understanding, deep faith. As I browsed my images, though, this one popped out to me as Deep.

Beloved
The Lent 2027 Photo-a-Day challenge for today is the word Beloved.
That's a lovely word, isn't it? Beloved. What makes you feel that you are a beloved person?
I think my husband's love language is doing for others. He certainly "does" for me, and it makes me feel beloved - special, loved, cared for.
How does God make you feel like a beloved person?

Review of Lent Photo-a-Day
During Lent, I participated in the Lent Photo-a-Day challenge that is sponsored (and maybe designed?) by Rethink Church of the United Methodist Church. Each day of Lent there was a focus word, and the point was to pause, reflect, and post an image on social media with no explanation. That was 46 words (not all of them different - Sunday was always Celebrate) and 46 images.
What did I think about it?
The good:
- It is good to have a focus for the day. The Lent Photo-a-day challenge can be a good Lent practice.
- I often have used my camera as a way to watch for God and to take pictures when I see God. I have gotten out of that practice, and this put me back into it. It felt good to do it. I took images beyond the word list. This was the best part of the challenge for me.
- It was a challenge, and it always good to stretch.
The not great:
- Some of the words didn't do much for me. One week we had Given and Gave in the same week. Truthfully, my focus on the words weren't always related to Lent (and maybe that is OK). I gave up trying to find a LENT picture for each word, and just looked for an image each day. I mean, I just couldn't find a Lent image for House and words like it.
- I got tired of the posting. I was glad when it was finished. BUT without the posting, I'm sure I wouldn't have done it with any discipline.
I posted all of the images on my blog, and you can find them at this tag.

Lent Photo-a-Day Challenge Week 1
I'm participating in the Lent Photo-a-Day challenge. I'm going to post my previous week's images here on Mondays. That will mean a juggle to my normal posting schedule. My normal Perspectives Post on Fridays will disappear during Lent. I'll post the two regular weekly posts on Wednesday and Friday.
