Ash Wednesday, Lent, and Fasting

Ok, so I was busy on Ash Wednesday, but thankfully, it's just the start of Lent, the period between Ash Wednesday and Easter.

Lent is, in a way, a fast. You give something up to focus on God for a time. The interesting part of it is that you're doing it with a bunch of people, so it isn't like doing it is a matter of boasting, but of humility. Lent is also a period of thankfulness because of Christ, who gave up everything for us, so we give something up in remembrance of His sacrifice, which was far greater than we could ever give.

So, whether or not you observe Lent, remember the one who gave up everything.
