Lent

Real quick...I really want to do some special Lenten things with my children this year for Lent. I got some idwas off of different blogs and came up with a few things that are working for us. Here are some pictures.

so a lenten center piece on our table, a "Stations in a box" which i LOVE, and they can earn jelly beans for Easter by doing good deeds. The stations in a box is my favorite because it is so hands on. I read alound the station and the kids take turns looking for the object that matches the station. I got the idea from a knotted life blog -she's awesome! here is a picture of the inside if your interested

oh i also made crown of thorns bread this year with soup for Ash Wednesday and the kids actually seemed to get the idea of what i was trying to represent :)

I am just hoping this lent to foster my children to have a greater love of Jesus by the end od 40 days...or at least a friendship with Him.
