Not growing up recognizing Lent, I've had a difficult time understanding the "giving up" of things by others and I thought they were trying to earn points with God or with others as they declared what they had given up. It has bothered me that these trite inconveniences should be spoken in the same breath as the sacrifice Jesus made for us. What indeed did He give up? How can denying oneself a cup of coffee of a dessert even compare? Thank you for shedding new light on the subject.Marilyn Turkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09613157670868692501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-57425481939421159472019-03-16T09:06:31.395-04:002019-03-16T09:06:31.395-04:00Great message, Emme.
