Y.I. Wednesday: Why I Choose to Participate in Lent

Chocolate on Wikipedia

I celebrate Lent for the reason Lent exists.
I am grateful for the sacrifice's made for me, my sins and my existence.

 but...
you may not be religious...

So, could you still consider Lent?

Maybe you can....
because,
Did you know...

and can be a time (and way) 
for you to appreciate (by temporarily giving up)
things you have, or do, which many others don't.


Think about it...

I'll be honest...it's not easy...
but in the end, my family and I feel that it's well worth the sacrifice...

(If you decide to do it, and if this is your first Lent experience, go easy on yourself and don't try to give up things like coffee and chocolate-ask me how I know.)
