A Different Approach to Fasting

I know during lent, we all have the tendency to think that it's all about giving up food or vices. But I've received a very interesting way to fast ...and it doesn't entail cutting on food that for some a ...(sigh of relief) hehehe!... whoever is the author of this ...it's a brilliant idea...thanks!;)

As a result,here are some creative ways to Welcome Jesus' healing touch. Here are some suggestions you may want to consider at least every once a year. :)

1. Fast from anger and hatred.
Give your family an extra dose of love each day.

2. Fast from judging others.
Before making any judgments, recall how Jesus overlooks our faults.

3. Fast from discouragement.
Hold on to Jesus' promise that He has a perfect plan for your life.

4. Fast from complaining.
When you find yourself about to complain, close your eyes and recall some of the little
moments of joy Jesus has given you.

5. Fast from resentment or bitterness!.
Work on forgiving those who may have hurt you.

6. Fast from spending too much money.
Try to reduce your spending by ten percent and give those savings to the poor.

(urgh!) to these 6 creative ideas ...hmmm!...maybe i'll just fast on food ...hahaha!!! but seriously isn't these are nice to ponder on for 40 days?.

Let's share this wonderful thoughts for lent, HIS love and pray for others during this lent.

A time to appreciate the quietness of the green surroundings that we passed by and just merely a get away. My online course in Open Education is almost over. Collaborating with people around the globe with same interest is amazing. Exploring the many possibilities of this new learning culture. Defi...

"Philippine Hospitality" is on TWB(Teacherswithoutborders)

Philippine Hospitality is one of the characteristic that stands out among Filipinos. This is a common trait that Filipinos are known for, especially to most foreigners who have traveled around the country. They will even go out of their way to ensure guest feels comfortable.
