Today is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of 40 days of Lent, and ending on Easter Sunday as we celebrate the resurrection of our Savior!
Traditionally we as Christians enter this time of reflection and fasting by giving up something we enjoy! Every year I ask you to do something a little different. As an individual, a couple, or a family make a decision to give everyday!
Take a cardboard box, maybe even take the time to decorate it, and then every day for the next 40 days put an item in the box to bless our ministry and those most in need in our community! You may now be thinking, “But what would we put in the box?” Anything that someone living in homelessness could use....
One day you could put in......
- A box or cereal
- A bottle of juice
- A pair of socks
- A Deodorant
- A pair of your jeans from your closet
- A gently used towel
- A toothbrush
You get the idea! It could be new items, it could be gently used items, or it could be your favorite pair of jeans! At the end of 40 days what an amazing box!! Can you imagine the impact if 100 people filled a box! Now that is a Lenten Season that would be remembered for a long time!!!
