Find a special jar or container ...Decorate and place a Lenten Love Jug label on the container.

Each day during lent, perhaps at dinnertime, have each family member think of something for which they are thankful. ...Write it on a small piece of paper and place it in the jar along with a nickel, dime, or quarter for each item.

And also, because there is sometimes pain in our relationships with others, do the same when you have hurt someone and need their forgiveness.

At the end of Lent, take the money and give it to a service organization or agency that helps people in need.
