A Lenten Resolve
Fast from criticism, and feast on praise.

Fast from self-pity, and feast on joy.
Fast from ill temper, and feast on peace.
Fast from resentment, and feast on contentment.

Fast from fear, and feast on faith.
Unfortunately, I don't know who wrote this and I wish I did so I could give the author due credit. I love these words ~ I stumbled upon them many years ago when Frank and I were visiting churches and received a myriad assortment of church bulletins each week. I pull these words out each lent to dwell on them, pray over them, and attempt to live by them. Easter has always been my favorite holiday and in the years when I am able to "keep lent" it makes Easter morning that much more glorious.
I have had the privilege of meeting some wonderful people through the church we did in fact join and one of those special people has posted some tips for lent with little ones.
