Dear Friends,
I don’t know quite how to introduce this piece; suffice it to say that I’ve learned a thing or two over the past couple of decades through my fumbling failures at observing Lent in a rightly-ordered manner.
If you are a believer, do you also struggle with this sort of thing sometimes? Do you want to focus on the Cross through healthy self-denial but find that it ends up getting a bit twisted around?
Take a look:
“The Best Lenten Sacrifices Are the Realistic Ones.”
Have you found your Lenten groove over the years? What are your plans for Lent this year?
What do you think about differences in what women (especially in the childbearing/young child rearing years) and men may need in this area?
Finally, thank you to all our new paid subscribers who signed up after this Book Notes post. We are so delighted to have you!
Have a blessed week!
I’ve been so excited for this piece to drop and I’m still so excited about it now that it’s here 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Dixie, this is so wise!!
This is the first time in a handful of years I haven't been pregnant or fully nursing, and getting enough and adequate nutrition is already a problem I'm working on resolving.
I know for a fact that depriving my body of even more would not be driving me to Christ but literally crumbling me into a worse state. :) There are other sacrifices to make and other good things to take up in this season. Thanks for this.
