It's good to reflect toward the end of the day. Evening reflections can encourage others,as we prepare for the night!
This is a lovely thought, evening reflections...

During the early evening I'm usually running around doing things. It's not normally until later in the evening that I finally settle!
I have been to churches that do a service of Evening Prayer or Vespers which is perfect for people who want a time of reflection and prayer just as they come out of work and making their way home.
O Gracious Light is a popular song of worship for the end of the day. Originally written in Koine Greek in around the 3rd century, it was sung during the lighting of the lamps for the evening. There are many different versions of it. This is a more modern arrangement.

It's a little bit different to the version they sing in cathedrals!
I wonder if it would work in some cathedrals among candles and robes...

They could always give it a try! :) I love peaceful choirs, but it's sometimes nice to have something sung which is lively and cheerful!

I was planning to go to the Ash Wednesday communion service at church tonight, but I spent time on the phone and doing something on the computer and I totally lost track of the time! :-(

I've started reading my Lent book, "Meeting God in Paul" by Rowan Williams.
