My Lent

I've been wrestling with what to do for Lent this year.  Suggestions on my Facebook page ranged from 'give up giving things up' to 'making Lent a celebration of Christ'.  I finally settled on something that fits for me.

I need to be more grateful in my life.  God has richly and abundantly blessed me, and it is about time I take notice and intentionally say 'thank you.'  So, from now until Easter, I am going to start and end every day with three things I am thankful for.  I might even write them down so I end up with a huge list of things I am thankful for.  That might be aiming a little high, however!

I'll start with this morning:  I am grateful for the peacefulness of early morning, for my sleeping family, and for good friends--everywhere they happen to be.
