WHAT CAN WE GIVE UP FOR LENT ?





A Different Approach to fasting

Fasts have a tendency to be oriented toward things like giving up food
or television. But there are many other creative ways we can welcome
Jesus' healing touch.


Here are suggestions you may want to consider.


1. Fast from anger and hatred. Give your family an extra dose of love
each day.



2. Fast from judging others.

Before making any judgments, recall how
Jesus overlooks our faults.



3. Fast from discouragement.
Hold on to Jesus' promise that He has a perfect
plan for your life.



4. Fast from complaining.

When you find yourself about to complain,
close your eyes and recall some of the little moments of joy Jesus has
given you.



5. Fast from resentment or bitterness!.

Work on forgiving those who may
have hurt you.



6. Fast from spending too much money.

Try to reduce your spending by ten percent

and give those savings to the poor.
