Preparing for Easter and Lent

2019 is in danger of getting a ticket.  I mean it is definitely going way too fast.  I can’t believe we are already talking about Easter and Lent.  Don’t let them sneak up on you, girls.

Easter is Sunday, April 21st

so

Lent will begin on Wednesday, March 6th

I love Easter and always want to be focused leading up to it.  So I usually try to do something for the Lent period.  It is good to have something constantly taking my mind and thoughts back to the meaning of Easter.  I usually try to add something and I usually try to give up something

Ideas to add could be – an additional dedicated time of prayer each day, a set amount of time to do some Bible reading each day, praying for one particular person or situation each day or you could add something like drinking a certain amount of water each day, walking 20 minutes each day, completing some household chore every day

Ideas to give up could be – complaining, criticizing, hitting the snooze button, sodas, fried foods, social media, television, shopping, listening to music

I try to choose something that will be challenging to me, something that brings me to prayer each time I think of it.  Whatever that is in your life……prayerfully consider adding or giving it up, whichever applies in your case.

So we have a little time before March 6th but start thinking now so you will be ready.
