There are such wonderful Lenten essays and reflections on Substack! Thank you for writing this! My approach to Lent keeps changing as I get further into my parenting journey, and it’s showing me how God is beginning to answer my don’t-know-what-I’m-getting-myself-into prayers for humility. 😂
My primary resolution for Lent is to eat a healthy breakfast every day. But the reasoning behind it is that I find myself getting HANGRY with my children a few hours into the morning if I don’t. So in order to love my family, I’m (slowly) learning that I need to focus less on doing all the things for Lent and more on loving God and my family where I am in this season.

Yes I love this!!! Those little things- like a filling healthy breakfast - are huge for good days!! I'm glad for you
