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.

LOL @ Mommy, I'm home! I wanna give up snow too! Seriously, I gave up being a 'willing victim'.
No, we do not.
No I usually don't but I think it's a great idea to give something up for God.

sigh
I have never done Lent before, but it is an interesting idea... perhaps I'll have to think about this a little more.
I'm not Catholic so we don't observe Lent. Thank goodness because I'm not sure I have the willpower!
no we don't observe lent!Aloha
It'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.
I 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.
