Change our attitudes, not our diet



Lent has begun and I still remember vividly what Father said the other day at mass. He mentioned that it is not our aim to lose weight through our lenten observences but rather to have a change of attitudes.


I never really thought much about this since the longest time I have only focused on what yummy food to give up during Lent. 


This Lent, we have decided to do our reflections daily and allow God to shape our hearts and our ways. Though it has been tough keeping to it, it is going to be an even greater challenge to allow our attitudes to be changed. I have to admit that we have since forgotten to do our reflections for a couple of days now...


Well, as we tread ahead, may God be our strength and help us growth spiritually and as a person, that we may be better people in this world. May this Lenten season be a time to plough our hearts for the harvest that is to come with Easter.
