The Reese's Egg: I gave up chocolate for Lent. Jeff did not. (Online Lent #11)

The is the longest Lent I've ever experienced-- but this, too, shall pass! 

March 31, 2020-- Psalm 130:5 reads, "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope (NIV)." I am eagerly anticipating the ending of Lent. I gave up chocolate for Lent, and I'm really missing it right now! With everything going on in the world, I could really use some chocolate; however, I will wait until Easter to break my Lenten chocolate fast because I know that despite the fact that this Lent feels EXTRA LONG, it will eventually come to an end. This too shall pass. Christ has died. Christ has risen. Christ will come again! But in the meantime, it is extra challenging to watch Jeff eat all the chocolate he wants!

Apparently your next message should involve a non-chocolate donut. You know, whichever is Jeff's favorite.
