Lent
is Upon Us
Many of us every year feel the renewed
inspiration that makes us want to put our hearts and souls into the Lenten
season. We want to prepare for the feast of Easter, but we want to show our
love for Jesus by imitating His fasting and sacrifice during His 40 days in
the desert.
Inexpensive Ways to Fill an Easter
Basket
In recent years, I've come up with items that my
kids enjoy, get excited about, and can appreciate for a longer period of
time than candy would last.
Lent
The original meaning of Lent is “holy spring”. Traditionally, it was a
time of preparation. Christians have used Lent as a time to prepare
themselves for Easter by asking God to show them their failures and by
repenting of their wrong doings.
The
Tradition of Hot Cross Buns
Hot Cross Buns have a mixed history. Some say they were part of pagan spring
festivals and later given the cross by monks wanting to give Christian
meaning to the the tradition.

Easter Foods
Bunnies and Ham and Eggs, Oh
My!
It’s almost that time of year again. You’re standing, dumbfounded,
in front of a mound of hard boiled eggs, sliced ham and chocolate Easter
bunnies. You wonder “what am I going to do with 6 dozen eggs, 6 lbs. of
ham and 25 chocolate bunnies.”
Holiday
Feasts Can be Healthy Too!
Holidays are one of the hardest times to eat healthy. At our house we have a
variety of health concerns on both sides of the family and so we are always
on the look out for nutritious lower fat recipes.
Jazzing
Up Your Holiday Ham
Ham is part of many of our Easter Dinners. This year why not jazz it up with
a new sauce or glaze? They are easy and inexpensive, but can add that extra
touch to your holiday meal.
Easter
Story Cookies
Before beginning, pray that the Lord will guide you and your family to a
greater understanding of this time of year and the true significance of the
Easter season.

It's
Spring Alright, But Just WHO is Getting the Break?
As I pushed my cart loaded with groceries and children down another aisle, I
again looked up to gaze at those like me, and recognized that we were all on
the verge of a Spring Breakdown!
