Lenten reminders



Here is our Lenten crown of thorns. It is on our dinner table and every time Faustina or any children who are here do an act of kindness or obedience, we take a thorn out of Jesus' crown. The hope is that all the 'thorns' will be out by Easter, and then we can paint it.

I like having these reminders up around the house during this season. And this crown with the toothpicks is a good one - it really does look vicious! It certainly reminds me of how Jesus suffered for our sins.

Easy recipe:
4 cups flour
1 cup salt
warm water
toothpicks

Braid the clay and bake at 350 for an hour.
