Just in case you were living under a rock today, Fat Tuesday was celebrated today. This "celebration" is one day where all indulgences are allowed - for some, the sky is the limit. For me, chocolate is my limit. I have decided to give up chocolate for lent. Though I am Baptist (we don't traditionally recognize/celebrate lent), for the past several years I have decided to sacrifice something I really love. For the third year running, I have decided to give up chocolate.
So, since today is the last day I can eat chocolate for 40 days or so, I am thankful for it. I enjoyed a yummy cup of hot chocolate (with vanilla soy milk) for dinner and some delicious Girl Scout thin mint cookies for dessert. Just typing these items makes a smile cross my face. I am definitely addicted to chocolate, so what better way to sacrifice than to do so with one of my favorite foods?!
As you celebrate this season leading to Easter, I hope you will give up something to remember the sacrifice Christ made on the cross for you and me.
