Easter treats

Christ the King at Glen of Aherlow, Co. Tipperary

The month of Lent is a wonderful month of fasting and remembering what our Lord Jesus Christ has done for us. Fasting is a beautiful act where we want to spend time with God to know His plans and purposes for us. If I were dieting, yes, I would feel very hungry. But fasting is a spiritual act and somehow there is added strength.

Life goes on as normal, cooking meals for the family. Am I tempted to eat? No. Do I get upset if others eat or drink in front of me? No. I can sit together with others who are feasting and no, I don't feel hungry at all, peckish maybe.

The power of prayer and fasting can never be denied. I see strongholds broken and captives set free. There are many things that we cannot wrestle with our physical strength but victories are made in the spiritual realm. God is no man's debtor and if we honour Him, He listens and acts.

So with the seconds and hours that I save when I'm fasting, I go into crafting instead. These are just little fun treats although bunnies, chicks and chocolate eggs have nothing to do with Christ's crucifixion or resurrection.
