5 Days of Observing Lent Day One

It is time for another wonderful "5 Days of" series with the Schoolhouse Review Crew.  This time, we are choosing our own topics!  Being that Lent is in full swing, I have chosen "5 Days of Observing Lent."

I read on a church sign recently, "Lent is a journey to Amazing Grace."  How true!  I try to make the journey a special one for my children (and myself)-- a time to grow closer to God through many things including prayer and sacrifice.

What will you see in this series this week?

Day 2 will have some of our favorite Lenten books to read
Day 3 will include some wonderful Lenten crafts
Day 4 will feature some of the amazing posts shared on my Lenten Linkup (which is open until 4/17)
Day 5 will feature more of the amazing posts shared on my Lenten Linkup (wait till you see them!)

I hope you will join me for this short 5-day journey and that it can help you and your family have a more meaningful Lenten season to prepare our hearts, minds and souls for Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
