Hugs on this Super Saturday!

(((Good Morning!))) What a beautiful Saturday the Lord has blessed us with!
I hope you are having a great morning!

I thought I'd share today one of my devotions from the Lent Season! Enjoy!

Joel 2:12-14

Yet even now, says the Lord,
Return to me with all your heart,
With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning;
Rend your hearts and not your clothing.
Return to the Lord, your God,
for he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love,
and relents from punishing.
Who knows whether he will not turn and relent,
and leave a blessing behind him,
a grain-offering and a drink-offering
for the Lord, your God?

 

 

 

• We are at that time of the year when we are invited to test our inner freedom and the question the notion: I can take it, or leave it. Try that with complaining, gossiping, anger, gambling. What habits make me hard to live with?
   
• Lent is about regaining self-control, especially in those areas that damage others. We don't admire those whose appetites or habits lead them by the nose. A pure heart create for me, O God. Put a steadfast spirit within me.

I think about my loss of self control with my overeating prior to weight loss. I think how important it is for us to have self control over food. This is a great time to think about that and to dust yourself off and begin again if you need to.
Support is always here for you!
Have a wonderful Saturday as you regain self control!! (((HUGS)))
