for Lent
Prayer
I will read my Bible daily. I will pray alone. I will pray with my family. I will go to Confession and take my family.
Sacrifice
I’ve been thinking about what I need to sacrifice for Lent this year. Traditionally I give up sweets, but it has become a mini-diet not a focus on God. This year I’ve decided I need to give up internet surfing. I find myself procrastinating on-line, a lot. I will only give myself 30 minutes a day to check e-mail and write in my blogs. I am just realizing how much time I do spend on this. Of course the sweets are gone and I will really watch my language when frustrated.
Almsgiving
The money I save on not buying sweets and my favorite expensive drink at the grocery store will buy food for the local pantry. I will go through my home and give away items we no longer use. I will volunteer to help at upcoming events at my church.
Pray for me, I’ll pray for you.
