sun_clipart.jpgLent is a time of giving

A time of giving up: fasting from food and entertainment, fasting from sin.

A time of giving away: giving alms and help to the needy and the weak.

A time of giving time: to God in prayer, to the lonely by our company.

A time of forgiving: a time of God forgiving us and our forgiving others.

But remember God loves a cheerful giverĀ 
(2 Corinthians 9:7).

So smile please, it's Lent.
