Over the weekend, The Boy and I received a note from a friend:
My response?
I’ve never done anything to celebrate Lent in particular. That’s partly due to growing up Baptist and partly due to a lack of observance of any of the holy seasons apart from Christmas (Maundy Thursday-Christmas Day) and Easter Sunday.
Perhaps it’s time that I spend some time thinking about faith.
Our friend sent us a link to an essay about Lent, along with some sample faith “challenges” (for lack of a better word). If you’re interested, you can read it here.
The Boy and I talked about it and decided to give it a try. It’s only seven weeks and we, in our internet-addicted household, could certainly use an enforced break to focus on Faith instead of Facebook.
Are you giving anything up for Lent? Taking anything on? Share!
