I gave up chocolate for Lent, because I eat some every single day and it's quite a sacrifice when those Girl Scout cookies come rolling in at the end of February. In addition, we are praying the Rosary together, as a family, every night of Lent. My husband, our nine year old, our five year old and I gather around, kneel and pray. The family who prays together, stays together! In my house, we do a little of both.

Even today (Friday) I'm wondering if I should eat meat or not for lunch ??? I like your idea of "taking something on" rather than giving something up, although each day I'm trying to give up my sinful behavior. I'll be praying about this and see which way the Lord leads me.
