Oh I just love this! I’ve not celebrated Lent since I left the Catholic church and became non-denominational, but this helped me to finally understand its meaning. Thank you!!

Wonderful post, Danielle. Thanks for sharing. I overheard one of my students today explain to another student about what he thought Lent was…”just ashes on our forehead.” Guess I have more reading and then teaching to do. This will be a worthy challenge. Thanks again,

Thanks, Danielle, for sharing how you are observing Lent. Like you, I did not grow up with a Lenten tradition. Last year, my husband and I gave up sweets and every time, I felt a craving for it, I tried to remember to thank Christ for His much greater sacrifice for me. I also read through part of the book, Bread and Wine: Readings for Lent and Easter. It did make Easter much more meaningful. Blessings to you and yours.

“It makes me consider her life, to look at my own, and to think I don’t want my grandchildren to have to guess…”
What a wise statement. Thank you!
As a newer (and younger I might add!) grandmother, I also look at my hands and recall the beauty of the women that went before me, often guessing, as you do. I am doing my best to live openly to my young grandchildren, and with God’s grace will continue to share my life with them – leaving God-given lifelong treasures behind. It will make us all wiser and stronger.
Thank you!!

Danielle, so glad you found me through Kelly so I could find you too. Don’t you love this whole blogging world. Anyway, I love this post. I am actually composing an email to my followers tonight about taking this Lenten journey together. Wrote an article in HomeLife Magazine this month about adding spiritual disciplines through Lent and am a contributing writer for our church devotional through Lent as well. It is such a meaningful season, but like you, I didn’t really grow up realizing that!
