My Mom always required us to give up sweets/candy during lent to remind us of the sacrifice the Lord gave for us. Janelle looked appalled listening to that story & said "mom, your not making us do that are you?". I hadn't really thought about it, but it always made a great impact on me. Lent is my favorite time of the year. I find myself emotional at all the lenten church services. What a great time for self reflection, personal time with Christ and thanksgiving for the gift He gave us all.

I haven't decided what to give up this year (guess I better get deciding!), but love the encouragement and balance in your post. Here's to a life that shows we #loveJesus!Tracy Wainwrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08555889526318782769noreply@blogger.com
