Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Still Lent

March 5, 2018

I decided to check the calendar to see how many weeks left until Easter – I’m counting actual full weeks – and there are four full weeks until Easter Sunday. Almost half way through and what have I been doing? Uh, not much. I haven’t given anything up except maybe my sanity and my life’s aspirations. I have been reading the Bible – the Wisdom books to be exact – so there’s that. And I didn’t give up on spiritual reading, but I did decide to just focus on books to do with my vocation of wife and mother. Those aren’t too deep and they fit my life. Well, that takes care of the prayer part of Lent. What about fasting and almsgiving? Does buying your kids a Starbucks frapp count? I really need to give up coffee and overload of sugary treats. I also could cut out snacks I suppose. Or just one of those two things because all of them – yeeesh. And I need to figure out a monthly giving plan to one or two places that I’m passionate about. That should take care of it. Onward and upward!
