For me ash wednesday symbolizes Second chance. In my country(Philippines ) Millions of people go to church to get our forehead get cross with ashes to symbolize that we are truly sorry for our sins or also called repentance. TRUE REPENTANCE COMES WITH HOW SINCERE WE ARE TO THE LORD. Cut those things you love to do and FAST. :') Happy Valentinesday I hope you can visit my blog. Thankyou :')
