Lent

Good Friday is tomorrow and what a BLESSED time this is!!

For those of us who gave up something during this period we may be feeling some burdens coming on strong. Any time we are in a fasting period, as soon as you get to the end, the real tests begin. Although many times this can be discouraging and overwhelming but anytime we feel like this, it is time to celebrate. I use to wonder WHY in the world my Mother got so excited when things were a mess towards the end of a fasting period. But she simply said "any time you are in a storm, your blessing is around the corner".

Over the years I saw exactly what she meant and boy am I thrilled about it. We need to remember that this fast during Lent is to give up something in remembrance of what He gave us... His son to die for our sins. The more we sit back and think about it, this is truly a big deal! Take this time to reflect and remember, if you haven't been fasting it's not too late to give up something big for the next few days to simply say "Thank you". I am going through a slight storm myself, but couldn't be happier because I know God is about to do something HUGE for me, and He will do the same for you!

With Faith, Hope & Love,
