The week before Easter

John 13

It was just before the Passover Festival.  Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father.  Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end...

What have you given up for the past 40 days?  Have you thought about what you have given up every time you thought about it or missed it?

I gave up sugar and every time I thought about having frozen yogurt, a bite of a piece of cake or some type of sugary substance, I reminded myself of the reason I gave it up. 

It put me in a better place and allowed me to think about our Savior during the times I had other things on my mind.

We are one week out and I hope that this week you stop and think about how many times that what you had given up brought you one step closer to him...

Something to ponder on my friends...
