Lent Journal – Day 28


It might feel like Lent is all about fasting, although Sundays are not counted in the 40 days (Sundays are always feast days!)  Here’s another way to look at fasting (and feasting):
 
‘Feasting on grace’  (Geoff Miller)
 
Perhaps a novel but creative spiritual discipline to practice would be:
 
To fast from grumpiness and meanness of spirit and
to feast on seeing the good in others, even in ourselves.
To fast from complaining and living life in the negative and
to feast by enjoying, nourishing and, yes, treasuring all that
we have been given.
To fast from seeing things in the minus and
to feast on the ‘more than’ abundant grace of God.
 
Feasting on God’s grace is easier than you may think for it is available in bucket loads!”
