Walk Through Lent With Joy!
Walk through Lent with Joy with this printable Lent calendar for kids and adults.
Those of you who are familiar with Lent and what it’s all about will understand why the title: Walk Through Lent with Joy, is surprising.
Lent is a time of penance and repentance, of fasting, of giving up joy … isn’t it?
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.
—James 1:2-3
8 Simple Steps for Your Most Meaningful Christmas
Historically, Advent was also a season of fasting, yet in our culture of excess it has become a time of indulgence, feasting, buying. With all the doing and going and spending, why not add something for your heart?
I’m going to share with you the plan I use to simplify and “meaningfulify” (that’s a real word, as of right now) your holiday. Our holidays don’t need to be complicated, full of stress, or non-stop activity to be meaningful. They simply need to be intentional. The free PDF you’ll find at the end of this post will help you work through these steps. So let’s get planning!
