I really rejoice that L.E.N.T. is over. I did not fast according to the traditional Catholic tradition. After all I am over 70 yrs old. I did not abstain from meat either. I hardly eat meat because my stomach does not agree with it. Sometimes I eat chicken. But my staple food is SALMON.
From the beginning I observed L.E.N.T. of Positive Christianity (Let's Eliminate Negative Thinking). Sadly I often broke my Fast. Last March 31, the last day for our food outlets I was overwhelmed with FEAR that Emil would go hungry during the Holy Week. I ordered too much food so our fridge was overfilled with food just like last November when Emil's Chinese students sent so much fruits. I can't remember what holiday they were celebrating then.
Then a family upstairs tested positive for the virus. The building rules already strict for SENIORS became stringent. We were confined to our unit. We still are. Emil was not even allowed to go down to the garden for his daily walk.
Good Friday and Black Saturday,! For two days I had no crossword puzzles.Thank God for the INTERNET. I had Facebook, YouTube and lots of Music.
Last Saturday morning, before the Zoom prayer meeting for my dead sister-in-law (ala Lent talaga) in my own prayer time I clearly heard God telling me to stop complaining about the ABUNDANCE (of Wine). I was peeved by the many bottles of wine from the Chinese students because they occupied so much space in my area. Two were clearly in red boxes for Christmas.What?! I will have to live with them till December?
Anyway God said:"Accept the ABUNDANCE for DISTRIBUTION"
