Just not quite getting it
Each year when Lent comes again, I search myself to see what I should give up for Lent. One year it was "worrying." Another it was chocolate. And another it was speaking ill of others. I was explaining this concept to the children, the idea of giving up something, as a sacrifice, that gives us pleasure, or giving up a vice (that perhaps gives us some pleasure, too.)
Sarah seemed interested in the conversation and I asked her if she wanted to give up her Wednesday dessert as a Lenten sacrifice.
"I know!" she replied. "I can give up homeschooling!"
