For those of you that give up something for Lent, what will it be this year ?  For me it is all sweets.

I would like to work on being a better person ~ having more patience and showing kindness every day

Except on Sundays when I understand Lent takes a break. 😉

Me, too, but I'm giving up my dark chocolate once a day, too, 'cause I'm afraid I can't do the patience and kindness thing. I need/want them but it's a toughie. (I know, that's the point, isn't it?)

Right, no fasting or abstaining on Sundays.

It's always chocolate for me, because it's so dear to my heart therefore a true sacrifice to give it up.  I just ate four squares of Dove chocolate in preparation for the long haul.  I abstain on Sundays, too.

I'm going to buy some Ben and Jerry's. Phish Food tomorrow as my farewell. 🍨

For me it will be shopping!  God will like me but QVC and Macy's may not!   Oh and my husband thinks it's a great idea!!

Nice.

My sister's pastor (who's awesome) is adamant that giving up a specific thing, then going back to it on Easter isn't what Lent is all about; that we ought to make positive changes in us that are lifelong.

As for me, I'm giving up wine & cigarettes. LOL!

Though I'll definitely try to be a better me.
