Today was Fast Sunday, when we skip two meals (or one, in the big kids' case--Todd hasn't tried it yet) as a sacrifice to ask for God's help with a specific challenge (our own or someone else's). We also donate the money we would have spent on that food to help others in need.
It can be hard to remember all of that great stuff, though, when you wake up hungry in the morning, so I've taken to putting this sign on our dining table the night before Fast Sunday to remind us not to eat breakfast. Actually, since it's such a special day, maybe I should print a nicer sign.
Hungry tummy notwithstanding, this afternoon Daddy decided to make his favorite cookies to take to some friends this evening. Baking delicious cookies you can't even sample until a few hours later--now that's a sacrifice.
