Family Journey through Lent
Lent is a
time of reflection and prayer as we remember Jesus’ last days on Earth. Lent begins
with Ash Wednesday and ends with the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus
on Easter. During this time of Lent, families can journey together through a
time a prayer and reflection. This is such a special time because it is a time
we step back and reflect on what is really important in our lives. Each week
through this Lenten season, I will post an activity that you can do with your
family that will help create a space for prayer together and time to reflect on
the love and sacrifice of Jesus for each of us.
As a family, I hope that this reflection time allows you to grow closer
to one another and most of all to Jesus.
Journey Stop Week One
Reflection on
Blessings
As a
family, find an empty jar and decorate it however you would like (stickers,
ribbon, paint etc.). Label the jar “Blessings.” Have someone cut up small pieces
of paper and put them next to the jar. Each day during the week, each family
member should write or draw something good that happened during the day or a
blessing they are thankful for that day. At the end of the week, take the
pieces out of the jar and share them as a family. Be reminded that God is at
work in our lives every day. Say a prayer together to thank God.
