40 Practices for Lent - Part 3

Day Eleven: Circle of gratitude.  Before meals invite everyone around the table to share one thing they are grateful for that day.

Day Twelve: Call or visit someone who is lonely.  This might include an elderly shut in, stay at home parent, someone who has recently lost their job or is grieving.

Day Thirteen:  At the end of the day ask your "Where did I see God today?"  Make a list.

Day Fourteen: Caring for others as ourselves take acts of truth-telling and confrontation.  Abstain from laughing at jokes or comments that are hurtful to others.  Share with that person your commitment to caring for God's children.

Day Fifteen: Keep a prayer journal (can be on the computer or in a paper notebook).  Include prayers of joy, concern, and questions.  Write down the prayers offered to God for yourself and for others.
