The Lenten season is upon us with the start of Ash Wednesday.  Lent is a solemn religious observance in the Christian calendar that begins on Ash Wednesday and ends approximately 6 weeks later, before Easter Sunday.  It is a time to repent, reflect and draw closer to God.  Some Christians take this time to give something up like chocolate; each time they crave the chocolate they focus on God instead.  If that doesn't work for you then try adding something into your daily life.  A little more prayer time, a little more bible reading, a little more meditation focusing more time with God.  

Lent is a gift that helps us on our journey to the cross.  My prayer for each of us is that we draw closer to God this Lenten season appreciating the Gift of Salvation through Jesus the Christ.

Blessings & Love,
