Things you give up for Lent is supposed to be things bad for you that you like. That's the whole point of giving stuff up for Lent.

sfarris: 3 months ago

I thought it might be clever to give up giving up for lent. ;) I know it is a cheat. But, it seems a bit clever.

The hardest thing for me to give up would be movies, but that is a personal thing as it would be for each individual. I would think the more clever are ones difficult to give up.

That actually makes sense because a nazirite(person dedicated to God in ancient times) never shaves or cuts his hair.

What God wants most is for you to give your life to Him. Not just for 40 days but forever. It is easy to decide what we want to give to the Lord as a sacrifice but it is harder to give Him what He wants. "The sacrifice You desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God. Psalm 51" Give Your heart to the Lord Jesus and He will make you into a new person not just for Lent but for eternity.

KittyMorr: 3 months ago

The main point of giving up something for lent is so that you may get a little taste of what it was like for Jesus to suffer the way he did, and to give up his life for us. Therefore, you should give up something that will make you suffer a little bit too. Of course the thing you give up won't be anything in comparison to what Jesus gave up and suffered for. The point is, it should be something you'll really miss, so therefore, take into account of the things you do every day or the things you feel you can't live without. Facebook, TV, video games and cell phones are all a prime example of this. So is chewing gum, shaving your legs, wearing makeup, eating sweets, and gossiping. If you don't do things anyway, and are a booky, perhaps you can give up writing (unless it's for school), reading your guilty pleasure book or magazine, or eating in your bedroom with your homework. And of course, no meat on Fridays. ;) Good luck!

we have to give up pleasurable things..., we should be aware and empathize other people's experiences..., e.g.., eating too much.., we should eat not more than our capacity.., we shouldn't be a glutton; for people in other places in any way may have nothing to eat, so let's just be contented on what we have..., God bless those people that are less fortunate..,
