Menu Plan: March 20 - March 26
I learned that Mariam's little stomach can't quite handle my eating raw cabbage. That's part of why I was up between 1:30 and 4:51 this morning. So, I'll hold off on that tonight. Here is this week's menu, our second full week of Lent. I'm really proud of how seriously our children are taking the fast, some of them have fasted on days we didn't (like on the Ember days, I didn't fast at all, and Rich only reduced his meals, some of our children decided to observe the fast on their own, or at least try to do so). They have been conscientious about the things they have sacrificed for Lent and are making an effort in their prayers and alms giving. Even without us telling them, they have been saving money or toys to give to people and organizations to help the poor. It is encouraging to us.
