Lent Day 12 and 2 others I've missed! *Edited*

I know, I know...where are the other days? I'm missing some. I fell away from checking the site everyday as it got busy in my home and I cut back my online time in an attempt to "fast", but I just checked and liked today's message. I'll TRY this for tomorrow, but it would really be a challenge for me personally with sick little ones and looking for inspiration and connection "out there"- but I can try. I just thought it's sentiments were great to read, especially the "GIVE" one!!

Fast: No noise today. Turn off the TV, the radio, the iPod. Find God in the silence.

Pray: Make five minutes in the morning, at midday and in the evening to be still, silent, and alone, only asking God to infuse your soul with His will.

Give: Pay particular unsolicited attention to your least demanding child today.

I'll try and catch up the other days and add them below later this evening as I wind down and get sleepy. I JUST got everyone to bed!!! And, I can cut and paste better than really making a real updated post. That takes brain cells HAHAHAH!

Edited!! Here are the others. I love Day 11's!!

Day 11:

Fast: Don’t cut corners. Even if no one will know, complete today’s work thoroughly.

Pray: Light a candle. Every time you pass that candle today, offer a prayer of thanks. Don’t ask for anything. Just thank Him.

Give: Touch is a powerful thing. Make an effort today to touch your children: a hug, a shoulder rub, a tousled head — especially the bigger ones.

Day 10:

Fast: Your family gets first dibs on your time and attention. Don’t rob your family of yourself in order to impress others. That’s not impressive.

Pray: Give your troubles to God who is infinitely powerful and can transform them.

Give: Be Christ to your family today. Feed their minds. Fill their hearts.
