I was just checking in to see how everyone's Lent is going. I admit I have fallen off of the "Lent wagon", but picked myself up and got back on the ride for the rest of Lent. My son Blake keeps asking me how many more days until Lent is over. It's hard giving up things we love as an adult I can't imagine how hard it is for children. I do have fleeting moments of wanting to give in and have what I took away for Lent, but then I remember how often I have turned away from Him in order to satisfy a want of mine that isn't always good for my body or soul. So I move on and try to do something else more productive. I gave up Facebook for Lent and watching NCIS. Both were becoming addicting. You know when your addicted to something when you start dreaming about. In my case Mark Harmon. Sorry honey! My hubby and I do watch it together so it's nice time together. When he gets home we will just have to find new ways of spending time together. I have been enjoying my Lenten reads as well. I started Calls by Sr. Lucia. It is really a good book and I like that she has a great knowledge of scripture it really is a quite enjoyable book. I am also reading An Easy Way to Become a Saint. I just love all of Fr. Paul O' Sullivan books. ( I hope I spelled that right!) He writes in such a simplistic style so it's very easy to understand and put his advice into use. Well, I hope your all having a very sacrificial Lent and are learning to love God more without putting things in the way, like Facebook or Mark Harmon!!!:)
God bless,
Cheryl
