Most years I mark this day with an explanation of LENT 40 Days
as I
"BEGIN LENT IN JESUS' FOOTSTEPS"{this is a 4 day YV choice of reading plans}
I am on a longer journey than 4- 6 days but
I will not be here on my blog, except maybe on Sundays
since Sundays are not included in the 40 days.
However, I will be
There is also another "Walk with Jesus" for 50 days and so many other really
time set apart
to commemorate
the 40 days
JESUS
spent in the desert
a period of preparation to celebrate our
LORD JESUS'
RESURRECTION
The journey between today & the celebration of
HIS RESURRECTION
is more than
40 days

So I am not here today until after this time period - this post was done in advance -
as I begin walking closer
"IN THE FOOTSTEPS
of the Savior"
JESUS
this
LENT
with
Max Lucado's new book & study guide
which Faith Gateway is starting on March 6th - April 10th
and, of course, I highly recommend this OBS
(even without the books, it's worth it)
Everyone can view Session 1 or
on You Tube
and
You Version
has one week sample plan
"Following Jesus When You Doubt"
(which shares the video also on day 3)

Let's journey
"IN THE FOOTSTEPS..."

JESUS

Beyond to His
RESURRECTION
(and ours)

I also have a 50 day devotional with a local church
RISEN50 Reasons WhyTHE RESURRECTIONChanged Everything
🙏🙏
by Steven D. Matthewson(not a new book, 2013)
[this book is meant more for the 50 days from the Resurrection until Pentecost]

Have a Blessed Lent Journey!
I know that I will
I read these words in one of the YV Lent plans and agree:
"When we look around at the world today, we can see an awful lot of division and disconnection. Yet there is hope. A deep and thrilling hope. When we realize that we are one in Christ, everything changes. When we embrace togetherness – unity with creation, with each other, and with God – extraordinary things can happen. As you read any devotional for Lent, I pray you have a blessed Lent." Tearfund
