Those of you who give up something for Lent, how successful are you? Do you take this more seriously than New Year's Resolutions? Is it easier, maybe because you know it won't last forever? Just wondering.
I take it way more serious and yes, I am successful because I make up my mind to be. For me, it is giving back to God a small speck of what he gave me. It isn't a have too, but something that I want to do. I feel that it makes me stronger spiritually. I also see it as a time for more intense prayer and deeper reflection. This is just what I do. I'm not trying to convert anyone.
