You might recall that for the past couple of years Elizabeth Foss and I have shared daily promptings throughout the 40 days of Lent, reminding moms of small ways to pray, fast, and give every day.
Last year, at the end of Lent, many moms asked if these daily devotions were available in book form. Which gave us an idea.
“Why not give them a whole year?” Elizabeth asked.
And so the concept for our joint book project was born:
In the meantime, we are sharing the Lenten prompts with you at Faith & Family. Check out the Lenten calendar in the right hand sidebar there. This calendar will update daily throughout the 40 days of Lent (Sundays excluded) with prompts to Pray, Fast, and Give. (We are also working on getting a code for you to be able to post this calendar on your own blog or website — I will update you when that is available.)
You can also subscribe by texting FFLIVE to 41411. This service is free, but standard texting rates apply. You can unsubscribe any time by texting STOP to 41411.
I hope you will take advantage of the new ways we are seeking to support and encourage you this Lenten season. Here’s to a fruitful 40 days!
UPDATE: I have been reprimanded for not sharing the artist’s name. And here I thought Ambrose wouldn’t want the world to know what he’s doing instead of his school work.
A mother is the most important person on earth. She cannot claim the honor of having built Notre Dame Cathedral. She need not. She has built something more magnificent than any Cathedral -- a dwelling for an immortal soul, the tiny perfection of her baby's body.
-- Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty
We are not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be.

Some mothers are kissing mothers and some are scolding mothers, but it is love just the same, and most mothers kiss and scold together.

Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content. -- Helen Keller
