This lent I’m going to use a tool that has been made famous in schools, churches, and retreats all over America, the promise contract. You’ve seen them before, “I promise not to do ______ until …” and signature below. This year I’ve decided to make a Lent contract mainly to keep myself in line and to help focus on the things that I will be offering up to the Lord in this Holy season.

I would recommend this to everybody, but I haven’t even participated in this before. So, hopefully, next year I’ll be suggesting this idea to you next year with tales about how much it helped me in my time of weakness or distress with the things that I’m giving up from or adding to my life.

 God Bless you and God love you especially through this Holy Season.
