Let us make room for God
during this Lenten Season
by choosing not to do some things (Fasting) and
choosing to do other things (Feasting)
Fast from harsh or mean words
Feast on words that encourage and support others
Fast from anger,
Feast on patience
Fast from worry,
Feast on God's love and care
Fast from sadness and depression,
Feast on joy and peace of mind
Fast from complaining
Feast on appreciation and gratitude
Fast from bitterness
Feast on forgiveness
Fast from resentment
Feast on acceptance
Fast from jealousy,
Feast on being oneself
Fast from self-centeredness
Feast on compassion for others
Fast from excess
Feast on moderation
Fast from acquiring
Feast on generosity
Fast from apathy
Feast on caring
Fast from discouragement,
Feast on hope
Fast from judging others
Feast on finding Christ in them
