Blogging Ellul; The time is now...
So, we made it! We have walked the month of Ellul - 6 blogs a week, a bit of cooking, a bit of reflecting, a little prayer and some apologising. Tonight it all begins, and the Yamim Nora'im (The days of Awe) are upon us.
But if you haven't made the most of Ellul, it isn't all over just yet. We have the next 10 days until Yom Kippur to really engage with what it means to be the best version of ourselves in the coming year. If we can change ourselves, and model the best version of ourselves in the coming year, perhaps we will encourage those around us to do the same, and who know, one smile will breed another, one act of charity encourage others, one kind word create several more. I know it's cheesy, but if we can change ourselves, who knows what the impact will be, and while we repent communally, we take responsibility for ourselves personally.
It is a rare opportunity to take time out to reflect and revision who you want to be. Make the most of it - it could change your year, and even the world around you.
