A Lenten Reflection Prompt: The Memory of What Was Lost

Lent is a time of simplicity, sacrifice, and renewal, which often means letting go of distractions or comforts to focus on what truly matters. For this creative prompt, reflect on an item you no longer own but that held deep significance to you—a family heirloom, a favorite childhood toy, a book, or even something as simple as a handwritten letter.

To continue reading and/or listen to the audio version of this reflection, head over to Substack. One of the beautiful features of Substack is the ability to engage with words not just on the screen but through spoken storytelling—allowing you to sit with the reflection in a quieter, more contemplative way.
