Here was my brainstorm - my brainstorms, by the way, are normally around food. I think because food is something I seem to have more control over because it is something that is entirely my choice from start to finish - and entirely necessary.

- PRAY for a sign of God’s presence when you’re being tested today.
- GIVE everyone you encounter today an encouraging word or smile.
Solicitation
If you have any idea of good things to give up or give to for Lent, let me know! I basically have until I wake up this morning to decide!
