Opinions about Lent?

Postby Guest » Wed Feb 06, 2008 11:17 pm

Hey Everyone


This is my first Lent in Christ. To my understanding it is catholics that give up something for Lent. I go to a nazarene church and my pastor said tonight it is something catholics do but we should to. So I want everyones opinion on this. Should we give something up for Lent?

Hi Flo..ya know I love ya so :)

I must agree with 'a work in progress'
In our relationship with Jesus Christ, we are to strive not just everyday, but every moment, every thought, every heartbeat and every breath, to surrender our will, and allow His Will in our lives.
Wake up in the mornin' and greet HIM :) like say Jesus this MOMENT, I give myself, my all to you, to take me and make me, who YOU would have me to be, and anytime you feel blue, or anything, tell Him again, all the day thru :) O what a sweet surrender *run*

I love ya Flo and JESUS Loves ya the most! *ohyeah*
