Lent

Here's the deal. Lent starts tomorrow with Ash Wednesday. I've been thinking about what to for lent this year. Give up something? add something? both? I could give up soda, or sweets, or something else, but it doesn't seem 100% challenging to me or is out of my control (with the headaches I've been having, I don't want to take away caffeine because they help my headaches and I'm also still trying to figure out what causes them). I want to do something that can challenge me, but also help my relationship with people. So here's what I've come up with. I'm going to write a letter everyday for 40 days. Each letter will be to a different person who has affected my life in one way or another, then I will mail it to them. Through this, I hope to pray for that person, and thank them for being in my life. In return, I hope they realize that they have affected my life and continue to not only have an influence on me, but also that they continue to influence other people. I have prayed about this and honestly think this is the best thing to do for me during Lent.

All of you who celebrate Lent, pray and do something that will challenge you and bring you closer to God over this Lenten season.

God Bless and have a great Lenten season.
