Thought provoking words from the “What the Tide Brings In” blog (seashellseller.blogspot.com), suggesting that the most effective way to “give up” something for Lent is the intentional practice of its opposite:

Fast from judgment, Feast on compassion

Fast from greed, Feast on sharing

Fast from scarcity, Feast on abundance

Fast from fear, Feast on peace

Fast from lies, Feast on truth

Fast from gossip, Feast on praise

Fast from anxiety, Feast on patience

Fast from evil, Feast on kindness

Fast from apathy, Feast on engagement

Fast from discontent, Feast on gratitude

Fast from noise, Feast on silence

Fast from discouragement, Feast on hope

Fast from hatred, Feast on love.

What will be your fast? What will be your feast?
