Finally, this year, the kids and I baked a crown of thorns made of flour, salt, cinnamon and water! I thoroughly enjoyed this Lenten project, and I am looking forward to its unfolding throughout the next less-than-forty days left of this Lenten season. The girls have already pulled out few thorns (toothpicks) from the crown every time they did something thoughtful, kind or generous. I am glad they have taken control of the project rather than my handling it. What are some of my thorns I need to pull out, I begin to wonder, and the first thing that comes to my mind is the over-reacting Mommy yelling at her kids to do something for the second, third, fourth,...an umpteenth time! Ouch! Those are my thorns I need to work on this Lenten season so that I can be transformed into a new, better-adjusted Mommy for the sake of my family. So, wish me luck...that I may be able to pull out a few of my thorns this time. Perhaps, then, I can truly celebrate Easter, the risen Christ among us, as a new, enlightened and transformed Mommy.
