What, if anything, are you giving up for lent? I've narrowed my choices to the following..........
1. Swearing - I swear alot. I do like to swear. Swearing is offensive to others,which can sometimes be pleasing to me. I think swearing separates me from God. I should give up swearing for Lent.
2. Sugar - Too much sugar makes me complain alot. In my opinion, complaining is a most annoying habit. I should give up sugar, complaining, and complaining about sugar for Lent.
3. Justifying - I sometimes attempt to justify my behavior, and the behavior of others. If a little more thought went into the "before", there would be less justifying to do "after". I'd like to take Justifying Behaviors off of my "To Do List". I feel lighter just thinking about it.
4. Giving Up - I "Give Up" alot. I "Give Up" attempts to eat healthier, change emotional behaviors, partake in a specific activity. I "Give Up" long term goals when they seem unattainable for a short period of time. I even sometimes "Give Up" on seeing the good in certain people or difficult situations. I may give up "Giving Up" for Lent.
A few more hours to ponder......I'll decide as soon as I finish these cookies (just a few won't hurt). I won't give up on this decision. I swear.
