A key “swing thought” for Lent is “give it a try.” It is not a bad mantra for life itself — give it a try.
It is not too much to want and to attempt to have a better and closer relationship with God. It is not too much to expect and want to be the person you were meant to be — so give it a try.
Your attempts will not be perfect, you will make mistakes, your attempts will be awkward. You will not be perfect, but you will obtain a special kind of perfection. That is because in all of your failed attempts you will act out of love, and there is nothing greater than love, and by loving you are as real and perfect as a human can be.
So, give it a try. Love the world and all that is in it.
