Starting a new tradition





I've always wanted to put more emphasis on the time leading up to Easter, or Lent, but have never gotten around to it. This year we purchased a kit for a "Jesus Tree". I've read about this before and I'm pretty sure you don't need a kit to do it, but I'm not very crafty so it helps. I was disappointed to learn that I would have to cut everything out myself, the tree almost did me in. But the kids stepped in today and we are on our way to a new tradition in our home. Each night we will read a verse from the gospels about the life of Christ and add a symbol to our tree. Looking forward to celebrating this time of year for many years to come.
