First, off, I've never really gone down the "sacrifice something during Lent" person. Well, this year we wanted to try and give something up as a family for Lent as we journey to the cross. I pretty much guided the conversation this way so that no one got any crazy ideas that I should give up this. That wouldn't be good for anyone.
So I offered up some ideas which no one was really going for, and then I remembered that some wise person suggested that each Sunday during Lent is a day of reprieve (first I had to explain "reprieve" to my children). With that in mind, we are giving up ice cream for Lent. If we can do it as a family, we are going to have ice cream for breakfast on Easter Morning when we make our traditional 7:00 a.m. visit to Crescent Beach.
