For forty \u003cbr\u003e\ndays (not including Sundays) from Ash Wednesday to Holy \u003cbr\u003e\nSaturday, we prepare for Easter. Lent invites us to make ready \u003cbr\u003e\nour hearts for remembering JesusÕ death and resurrection. \u003cbr\u003e\nLent encourages us to draw nearer to Him, as we choose to \u003cbr\u003e\nparticipate in intentional prayer, service, and generous giving. \u003cbr\u003e\nLent begs us to make more room for Jesus in our busy lives. \u003cbr\u003e\nAnd so, we pray, we serve, we give. And day by day, we \u003cbr\u003e\nprepare our hearts for the rich celebration of Easter.\u003cbr\u003e\nLiving Lent 2024 is a devotional series created by and for \u003cbr\u003e\nMorningstar Children and Family Services, a ministry which \u003cbr\u003e\nprovides residential and counseling care to GeorgiaÕs special \u003cbr\u003e\nneed foster children. This year, we have returning and new \u003cbr\u003e\nauthors from across Georgia, each sharing words of reflection \u003cbr\u003e\non the daily reading, which parallel The Revised Common \u003cbr\u003e\nLectionary. Additionally, each Sunday we share some of the \u003cbr\u003e\nchallenging facts regarding child welfare and the lives of all \u003cbr\u003e\nfoster children, as well as highlights of Morningstar ChildrenÕs \u003cbr\u003e\nHome. We ask you to pray with us week to week for the \u003cbr\u003e\nspecific needs of the children and the many people involved \u003cbr\u003e\nin their care. \u003cbr\u003e\nThank you for joining us on this Lenten journey. Our prayer for \u003cbr\u003e\nyou is that these days together become a time of preparing \u003cbr\u003e\nwell. A time where we make room for something good, \u003cbr\u003e\nsomething better, something life-giving from the God who \u003cbr\u003e\ncame and gave all for us.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksWholesale","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44223845204129,"sku":"9781304827593","price":28.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/8446vyg-front-shortedge-384_73e8d317-3b82-4c00-82ec-43e3f64ab79f.jpg?v=1718413870","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/living-lent-2024","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
