Four Square Plan for Lent

19 February 2015 by Kortney

Creating a compass to guide me through the 40 days of Lent.

geraniums

NORTH :: PRAY

  • I love listening to Pray as You Go.  It’s a simple way to bring a bit of contemplative goodness into busy days.
  • I’m also thinking of working through one of the online retreats offered by Good Ground Press.
  • Planning on pulling out my springtime edition of The Divine Hours.  The daily infusion from the Psalms will provide a rich counterpoint to the gospel stories from our Jesus Tree study.

SOUTH :: DO WITHOUT

  • We’ll be fasting from meat on Fridays throughout Lent.
  • And giving up alcohol as well.

EAST :: EVERYDAY

  • I want to draw something each day–40 Drawings in 40 Days.  More on this tomorrow.
  • My walking habit has gotten spotty. I want to take a reflective walk each day.
  • We will be studying the life of Jesus using these printable coloring sheets and reading guide.

WEST :: CELEBRATE

  • We’ll be hosting my brother and nephew about half way through Lent.
  • And just as they leave, we’re having an exchange student from Japan come for a week.
  • We also will be celebrating St Patrick + St Joseph in high style.

      Yes! Draw everyday! Maybe designs to print on fabric? Unfortunately, I’m too grumpy come *happy* hour to want to draw : /
