ONE WEEK OF LENT DOWN!

Good Morning Foodies!

We all know that when LENT comes around, we “CATHOLICS”, look for ways to enhance our spirituality. There are many ways to achieve this, but to maintain for “40” days is the challenge.

If you will recall, I try not to go down the path of “GIVING UP SWEETS, CHIPS, ETC.” I try to do something to make me feel helpful to others, something that touches my heart, and something that helps me to get focused. I don’t try to do too many things, maybe 2-3 things. If you stretch yourself too thin, you get frustrated and then you fail—then you don’t feel good about yourself or accomplishing your LENTEN GOALS!
I really try to remember that EVERY DAY IS A NEW OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A NEW HAPPY ENDING!

There is a little card I keep in my purse that I try to read occasionally and especially during LENT!
It goes like this:
When you BEGIN A NEW DAY,
START with FAITH AND HONESTY,
MIX in pure HUMILITY,
ADD strength of CHARACTER that rises above the STRESS of LIFE’S SURPRISES,
FOLD in PERSONALITY,
TOSS with GENEROSITY,
POUR in LOVE from a HEART that is TRUE…..
And this will YIELD—ONE TERRIFIC, AMAZING YOU!”

I think this is a nice RECIPE to create a great dish during LENT—THAT WOULD BE YOU!
Have a great and productive weekend!
