What to give up for Lent:
whining "poor me"
worry over what happens next
lack of self discipline
fear of the future
regret over the past
What to take on for Lent:
trust in God
belief in answered prayer
strengthening the body, mind and spirit
living the fruit of the spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control)
living heaven's way on earth
These thoughts are just to get you thinking about your own life, what to improve and what to ignore, what to work on and what to forget, what to believe and what to let go of. Release is a life long process just as I learned with balance last year (focus words). Every day is a chance to learn, grow, and develop our spiritual nature. It is the only part of our life that is truly ours to determine and by doing so we prepare for our eternity with God.
