For the past few years, the Lenten season has served as an opportunity to focus on my faith. It's more than given up a material things, it's about turning away from the distractions in my life and focusing on the Lord. In my opinion there are three points that make a great Lenten sacrifice. Reading and reflecting of Scripture, Fasting, and opening your mind, your heart and your soul to your calling.
In Acts 3:1-10 Peter and John heal a Lame Beggar. They did not hesitate in healing the man. They were called to do so. During this Lenten Season pray that God gives you every opportunity to serve him, and listen to his call.
I challenged my son to find something he could give up for Lent. Initially he said he would give up playing with his toys. I gave him a hard time since he doesn't play with his toys?
Later on in the day while picking up our dinner he says he had the perfect idea of something to give up. He wanted to give up our arguing. This did not last very long, but he is new to the practice of lent. We are not perfect, we just start again with our intention to keep our promises.
