~ In Observance of the LENTEN SEASON ~

To All My FRIENDS WHO COME ACROSS THIS BLINGEE-(Catholic or non-Catholics,not tryin' to offend anybody) Celebrate the Life and Death of JESUS who died on the cross to save us from our sins. . Even Catholics sin.The Church offers us the season of Lent to help us perform community penance and personal acts of self-denial and soul-searching..The hope for us is to overcome the tendency to sin and be "cleansed from every wrongdoing".The Catholics practice of giving something up for Lent -abstaining from a favorite food or activity,develops self control,serves as penance for sin and can lead to a greater appreciation of our blessings.Even young children can benefit from a Lenten sacrifice.Help children unwrap the gift of Lent.Choosing one that’s too hard,however,turns Lent from a gift to a chore.Try some ideas to help choose a rewarding sacrifice.Give up something valuable,can be a favorite dessert,game or activity.Make it reasonable.The sacrifice should be something specific and age appropriate so that he or she will be able to see it through.Add back.An alternative to giving something up.Try adding more prayer time or do an extra chore.Make healthy choices for Lenten abstinence.For adults,one activity that needs to be given up or stop before someone gets hurt is spreading "gossip" about other people.No one has the right to know of someone else’s business……Think about the above ideas… . You might decide to do it even Lenten season is over.And lastly but not least," PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH."……….ALLELUIAH!……( This is my contribution,hope people will take time to read this with the hope of welcoming and opening your hearts to Jesus and being enlightened by it)Thank you.Have a Blessed Lenten and a HAPPY EASTER TO ALL....
