I know that most people give something up for lent, even if they are not Catholic. I'm not Catholic and I have always given something up for lent because I get why they do it and I wanted to try and sacrifice just a little to be closer to Jesus, even though nothing we can do or give up would ever equal what he did for us.
Three years ago I decided that since I could never ever come close to Jesus' sacrifice and since the best thing I could possibly give up would be my time since I have so little of it, that I would give my time for lent.
The last two years I've tryed to do more community service during lent. This year I am trying to take it one step further, I'm also trying to be kinder, more loving, more giving, and trying to use time that I would usually think of myself to pray for and think of others. I'm really glad that I added this part to my life and my commitment during lent. I feel soooo good when I am praying for others and thinking of others. It is an amazing feeling.
If anyone reads this please pass it on...I think it would be wonderful if others could do this for Lent also.
