ash wednesday

Daily Prayer for Lent
Lord, may I always remember
To be kind and care.
And ever watchful
For opportunities to share.
Reflecting good with all my might
Inspired by Your holy light!

today is ash wednesday and so the 40 days of lent begins. usually during lent i do give something up and i am doing so this year as well but i also like to make it more then just the giving it up part. this time of year reminds me that there are times to be a little kinder, times to listen a little better, times to help someone who needs it unexpectedly and simply times to go above and beyond the "norm"! also, i have always loved attending the stations of the cross so we are going to try very hard as a family to attend them once a week. i am hoping to just freshen up our faith as a family ..... there is ALWAYS room for freshening up especially with the BIG GUY! ;)
