Remember, as the saying goes:
"A healthy smile is a reflection of a healthy mind and body."

As we journey through Lent and Holy Week, may we find time to reflect, repent, and renew our faith. Let this sacred season remind us of the power of sacrifice, the depth of love, and the hope of new beginnings. Stay healthy and have a blessed and meaningful Holy Week. Until then, may your faith be strong and your hand-washing stronger. See you on Monday! 💚💛
