Lent

​What comes to mind when you think of Lent? For some thoughts of "Fat Tuesday" comes to mind where many gorge themselves will all they desire the night before they wake up the next morning & have to "give it up" for Lent. Others "give up" their favorite foods so they can maybe lose a few pounds over the next 40 days. And many people just "give up" on what they decided to "give up" for Lent.

But here's a thought... it is Jesus Who willingly chose to "give up" His life for us so we can have life forever with Him. So instead of deciding to give something up, how about deciding to live your life for Him? Instead of being hungry because you can't have that sweet, how about being hungry for Him & studying His Word.

When it comes to Jesus, He gave all He had, so we can have all in Him! Over this Lent season, live your life with Jesus in mind; looking forward to the celebration of that wonderful Easter morning at the empty tomb!
