The downside of Lent...

Can there be a downside to Lent? It is a time to grow and deepen one's faith the God. However, Lent is a litle depressing and gloom. I think this is important and intentional. It provides balance for our lives. We can't rejoice at Easter without walking through the trials of life. Each Sunday of Lent seems to focus on these issues: faith, belief, sin, relationships, and the life of Jesus.
Where do we go with it? This gloom and sorrow.
I haven't decided yet. But, as soon as I do I'll let you know!
Ponder this:
Ah! if you only knew the peace there is in an accepted sorrow.
Jeanne de la Motte-Guyton
