As we journey through this season of Lent I can't help but be amazed by how the time flies by. It seems like only yesterday we were having pancake races at our Shrove Tuesday event and learning about the season of Lent. Now we are approaching the halfway point! I am trying to encourage our families to talk to their kids about Lent and Easter because it is one of the most fundamental events defines us as Christians. God calls us to a life of truth, grace and love and Jesus' sacrifice is the ultimate modeling of that lifestyle. So as we continue in this season, remembering and reflecting on his life, death and resurrection I am challenging myself and others. How do we see God's daily reminders for us to live this way? Is he providing you are your family with opportunities so share his love with others? Lent provides us with a chance to intentionally seek God and prepare an opening within our busy lives. Start by reading through the Easter story with your family. When your children ask questions, it's okay to not know the answer. Look it up together and if you can't find it, pray that God might help you understand. These types of opportunities are meaningful ways to connect as a family and with God. Blessing on your Lenten season. May you feel the magnitude of God's love for you.
