Yes our family are all doing lent again. It is good, the children are both giving up something and doing something helpful around the house. I am giving up sweets. That's going to be hard for me.
 
I'm giving up rude, sarcastic, and smart alecy comments...I give it about 30 minutes.
 
I want to do lent this year but I can't think of what I can give up. I may just do something extra for God instead.
 
I'm not necessarily giving anything up totally, as much as putting in an effort to cut back on a couple sinful habits.

Swearing - I have more of a potty mouth than I care to admit, so I'm making a point to cut back on that. I don't expect to be perfect right away, and thus far haven't gone a day without using some kind of vulgarity, but the point is to gradually kick the habit.

Over-eating - Well, if putting on 40 pounds is indicative of anything! I'm making a point to eat smaller portions, and not snack so frequently between meals. So far, this has been easier than not swearing.
 
I always give up a few things for lent... this time I was noticing some sinful habits creeping up into my life and i want to get rid of them completey... they are gossiping and complaining... this is very diffcult because when there is someone i dont seem to like it is very easy to gossip about them but i dont want to do that anymore... that is not building up the body of christ. and complaining is even harder I mean I feel like i am constantly complaining... i decided i will thinking of 3 things i am thankful for every time i complain. i made a box. the only problem is sometimes i dont really know how many times i complained before i write down things i am thankful for. so I am still working on it.
Also i decided to give things like movie tv and youtube up... thats gonna be hard... but anyways those are my things i am giving up
