Lenting

This year as Easter approaches we take some time to observe this lent season. Phil and I have decided to do this together and in so have decided to give up eating fast food. We enjoy eating fast food and it is easy when we are tired or in a jam or just need something quick if we have a lot on the go. So, giving this up will not be all that easy. Plus, these next couple of months will see Phil travelling to Calgary for work and it is always easy when on the road to pick up fast food. As we take some time to remember the sacrifice that Jesus made for us, we are thankful and grateful. As humans we can give up the things that we enjoy for 40 days to remember what Jesus gave up for us - his life! So as Easter approaches and we reflect on the the gift of eternal life that is ours if we so choose, take some time to thank God and the think about what it is that you can give up! Happy Lenting!
