As per my son.........with a masters in theology you don't have to give up something like cake etc you can do more spiritual read each day or prayers. I am giving up my time. I am doing the stations of the cross everyday along with 1 hour of charity sewing. Someone gave me yardage of poly cotton 2 different prints. I will not use it in my quilts however the un wed moms shelter can use baby quilts. I am sewing simple quilts I am doing a sq in a sq and I will tie them. Sometimes it is better to give of yourself then give up something that will benefit you. My friend is giving up chocolate but they said they need to loss a few lbs so are they giving it up as penance of for themself?
