This week's Aloha Friday question is...
Do you give up anything for Lent? If so, what are you giving up this year?
Some years I do and some years, I don't. This year, I am not giving up anything, but I will try to find special and new ways to draw closer to God in the next 40 days that lead up to Easter. My denomination doesn't practice Lent, but I do see the value in giving up something important as a sacrifice to remind us of the sacrifice Jesus made for us all.
I'm not Catholic but, I have given up alcohol since New Years.

I have never done Lent before, but it is an interesting idea... perhaps I'll have to think about this a little more.
ReplyDeleteI'm not Catholic so we don't observe Lent. Thank goodness because I'm not sure I have the willpower!
ReplyDeleteno we don't observe lent!Aloha
ReplyDeleteIt's like I wrote this post. Our denomination doesn't do anything for Lent either. But I enjoy observing it with my family because it is easy for Easter to sneak up on us.
ReplyDeleteI am trying to give up some sleep in the morning hours to wake up early and have my devotions. But I too, want to use this time find news ways to draw closer to God.
