What I Am Doing for Lent

I'm not giving up pizza!

In fact I'm not giving up anything.


I'm adding something--a spiritual practice:

Kindness.

Not that I am usually unkind.

Just that I am unawares of the myriad opportunities for kindness each day.

Helping, listening, encouraging, giving, forgiving, there's so many ways to show kindness in small and large ways. It's a practice that can include many of the others.

So I think "kindness" is for me.

What about you?

I am not giving up pizza either. But I am giving up soda and candy. We are trying to get a healthier lifestyle around here and I think that would be a great start.

I think this is the first time I have "given something up" in many years. I usually try and do something that helps me grow, like you are doing this year.
I hope you do well with kindness and I can't wait to hear what opportunities you take advantage of!
