Life can be busy, hectic, and scattered. The season of Lent is a
time in the Church for us to hit the pause button. It is a time to
focus on our spirituality leading up to the remembrance of our
Savior’s death and resurrection for us. What we do during this time
is important for our spiritual growth ----
Confess – stop and seek forgiveness from God for the sins that may
be blocking you from a deeper relationship with the Lord…
Pray -- think about how often you pray in any given day – how can
you add to your prayer time – what can you do to help yourself pray
more frequently …
Worship – walk outdoors -
celebrate creation, take time to really look at the cross, hum a
Christian song throughout the day -- these are simple ways to
integrate worship into each day …
Give -- time
spent listening to a friend, a helping hand when not expected, a
simple pat on the back or a hug, allowing someone to go ahead of you
in line, a simple ‘HI’ and smile … all free ways to easily give and
make a difference to someone else …
