Today is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. We will be doing a lot of special activities, readings, crafts and meditations to get ourselves ready for Holy Week and Easter, but we started our Lenten Journey today with the making of a giant cross on the basement door.
Each time one of the children says a kind word to someone, they will be able to add a flower to the cross. It is my hope, that by Easter Sunday, the cross will be filled with beautiful Easter lillies and will become a beautiful sign of Christ's Resurrection!

That is a beautiful idea! The kids will be able to see how their words can make something beautiful "bloom" in their home.
