I almost didn't make it to the mass this evening. I gave up on the problem I was solving (bukas na lang hehehe) and rushed to Christ the King church at Ang Mo Kio.
I was so happy to see my family in church. Bebi A was her usual friendly (she was smiling at the Auntie on pew behind us) self and Dawter T was trying to behave and failing hehehe... I couldn't really concentrate, what with the constant "pssst", "shhhh", "Dawter T, stop it!" and "Bebi A, come here". I had to restrain myself and keep quiet also. Or I will be at the receiving end of Pre's notorious glares hehehe
Anyway, after the imposition of ashes. Dawter T was so excited about hers. She kept on telling us that hers was a star (she can see her reflection slightly at the glass behind us). We had to tell her many times that it's not, that it's a cross. Then, when she saw Bebi A's, she said. "Bat kay Bebi A circle?" (nawala na kasi yung form nung cross at nagmukha ng malaking dot). Dawter T is really inclined in arts hehehe
On a more serious note, may it be not the shape of the ashes that was formed on our foreheads but let the start of Lent help us to reminisce the suffering and the victory of Jesus over death. May it bring us to a closer and deeper relationship with God.
