Lent
Lent is one of the most important events in the Christian calendar. It starts on Ash Wednesday. Lent goes on for about 40 days. During these days, we remember the time Jesus went into the desert by himself, with no water or food. Jesus did this to become stronger. While Jesus was in the desert, the devil came and tried to make Jesus eat and drink. Jesus was strong enough to refuse and continue his journey in the desert. As Christians, it is our job to give up something during Lent. It can be anything, meat, dairy products, or maybe even electronics! It can also be something that you're addicted to. I am giving up drinking pop and using Facetime on my Ipad. Giving up things might not always be easy. In fact, it's a little hard. Some of us find giving up things, that we don't need, hard! Jesus gave up things that he needed to live. I think Lent helps you grow stronger, you gain more self-control!
Hey Megan,
ReplyDeleteGood paragraph. Remember to always indent at the beginning of a paragraph. You could have talked about how the days of lent lead up to easter when Jesus rises from the dead. Other then that it was a well written paragraph.
