No Foolin' ~ No Coffee!

Happy April Fool's Day!
Did you prank your family or friends?
We have a two hour snow n ice delay for school -  I was sure The Farmer was prankin' me when he told me...
But this is no joke,
I GAVE UP COFFEE.
I know, I shouldn't "scream" in caps, but wouldn't you?!
Green tea may be makin my body better but my mommy brain is sufferin'!

I actually gave up coffee for lent. Go read this at Life in Grace if you somehow missed it... "Lent is time to retreat with Our Father. To confess to Him that we have wandered so far from home and that we have become far too ‘comfortable’ in the pleasures of this life. To confess to Him how utterly dependent we have become on everything, but Him."

It ties in well with my thoughts on Water for Christmas' "Live Without" campaign...  There are too many who live without basic needs in the world right now. Maybe in my tiny way I can help.
Each nonstop second that I crave coffee, I say a prayer for those who live without and thank God for his love and compassion. During April I will also drop a dollar in a savings jar each day.
By Easter I should have a small donation and hopefully be more in the habit of praying when I need a quick fix, instead of leaning on false comforts (like coffee n chocolate)!

Drop by to read and think about what you can do.
It's an ongoing campaign.

Maybe you might give up somethin' more sane than coffee!  ;-)
