Reflections during Lent

I am Lutheran therefore I still eat meat on Fridays and I do not give up something like sweets or chocolate for Lent. Lent is not about sticking to your 'sacrifice' of no candy bars or ice cream for 40 days, it is about self reflection. What can you do to better yourself? Are you judgmental or a big gossip when you eat chocolate? Well, then maybe you should give it up for Lent. Giving up a pet sin is more thoughtful and in the spirit of Lent. Also in the spirit of Lent is if you choose to give something up, no matter what it is, you should not speak of it

God Bless,
