(OK, typical for me. I tend to forget.)<br />Last Sunday we had some particular reasons to fast, and it did make it go by quite a bit easier. Although the hardest part was right after church while making lunch for the kids and realizing I still couldn't eat yet.Roriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17717317533647661943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5153889254659000552.post-78181856624583366082009-12-07T22:50:53.884-07:002009-12-07T22:50:53.884-07:00Thanks for the warning:)!

Fasting is only a symbol or sacrifice of the physical in order to strengthen our spirits. If we can't fast then we should sacrifice in some other way. I guess there are many people that can't or shouldn't fast and so they can just go without something else to show their sacrifice. I don't know if that makes sense...but, it gave me solace in the days when I couldn't fast. Your blog was very inspiring.Ma & Pa J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05400837290089419604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5153889254659000552.post-54775923733276731522009-12-07T13:29:25.522-07:002009-12-07T13:29:25.522-07:00You are correct about fasting being difficult.

This Sunday it happened to go easier for me, probably because our meeting started earlier than it has all year and because I was involved getting addresses for Christmas cards. I totally forgot about eating. Unfortunately I also forgot to fast with purpose. Sigh!Lonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08840803948866189854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5153889254659000552.post-83478707090402493182009-12-07T12:43:22.348-07:002009-12-07T12:43:22.348-07:00I remembered it was fast Sunday yesterday, but awh...I remembered it was fast Sunday yesterday, but awhile after I brushed my teeth I wondered if I drank water (because I always drink after I brush my teeth). Pretty sure I did. Habit you know.
