They were pretty hard core about fasting, but it seems like they never turned down hospitality. So if I'm invited over for a meal, I don't turn down what I'm served. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09976783554909536532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4352179045764689947.post-12614969864446766752008-03-14T21:02:00.000-07:002008-03-14T21:02:00.000-07:00Can we still have you over for a cookout once in a...Can we still have you over for a cookout once in a while?

To my surprise, I find that I have been so grateful to eat meat on that day and it makes Sunday more of a celebration. It reminds me of how Jesus said to fast while he was away and feast while the bridegroom was here. I'm also realizing that in order for me to live something else must give up its life. <BR/><BR/>Also, during this time, I've realized that I don't really need to eat as much meat as I thought I did. Thanks to you for teaching me good eating habits, because I like to eat my veggies and such, but wife has also helped. My wife is studying to be a dietitian and has helped me find meat-free protein replacements for my fast.<BR/><BR/>I'm thinking after Lent is over I might have a big week of eating a bit more meat (to celebrate Easter) and then I might settle back into eating meat once a week.<BR/><BR/>your son, +GrantAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09976783554909536532noreply@blogger.com
