We will “bury”the word Alleluia tomorrow morning, and “resurrect” it on Easter. It seems to be a very tangible way for the boys to learn about lent.
I love the saying above the mantle as a constant reminder for our family to choose each other. It went well with Valentine’s Day, and works for Lent as well so I’m leaving it up to be a reminder for 40 more days that God chooses us with every heartbeat too.
My family loves the sacrifice hearts. Each night at dinner during lent we place a heart in the chalice to represent a sacrifice we made that day.
We have the stations of the cross up too as a reminder of His Passion.
These vases I made for Valentine’s Day were still out, and there just happens to be three of them, so I’m contemplating what we can have each boy fill their vase with. Maybe gratitude slips or coins for tithing or ways they’ve loved Jesus through loving others...
Yes, it’s a few years old but I love it and don’t want anything different. As for sacrifices, I’ll keep growing a human in this “body that can’t quite keep up this time” and call it more than enough.

I’ll be going through my Lenten Journal again this year.
