LIVING, LEARNING & LOVING during LENT
Lenten devotionals for March and April. We will focus on a different concept each day of the week: Sundays: Resting/Taking Sabbath Mondays: Fasting Tuesdays: Giving Wednesdays: Serving Thursdays: Praying Fridays: Studying/Learning Saturdays: Celebrating/Playing.
First Full Week of Lent: Deepening Faith
March 15 (Saturday – Celebrating/Playing)
- Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:13 – Moreover, it is God’s gift that all should eat and drink and take pleasure in all their toil.
- Reflection: Enjoying life is one of the experiences that God wants for us. When the world was created, and when humans were created, God pronounced people, creatures and creation to be ‘good’. We have been endowed with the capacity to take pleasure in our experiences. Today, let gratitude fill our hearts as we celebrate God’s blessings.
- Spiritual Practice Prompt: Plan a cheerful activity today. For instance, have a game night with friends or family.
