Return to the Lent calendar.

Fast from giving excuses about why you can’t help others.
Pray in thanks for good health. If you or someone you love is ill, pray for patience and strength for a healthy recovery.
Give blood to a local blood bank or become a volunteer to help at one.

Giving blood will be a tough but not entirely unexpected challenge for me. I’ve never done it before, but there is a blood bank right near my house.
Just out of curiosity, what’s happening with our FastPrayGive bowls this year? We’ve only been told to use them once so far.
Lindsay, giving blood is a quick and easy thing to do. I cannot count the number of times I have donated. Make sure you have something to eat before you go and just relax. The staff are always so nice and gentle. The hardest part of donating is filling out the long questionnaire prior to donating!
Giving blood in a rural location is not such a quick thing to do. I have to call and make an appointment, and drive to a larger center to do so. This is my excuse which I will probably stick with because I almost pass out when I simply get blood tests done.
