give away 40/40

We’re a few days into the Lenten season. And I am giving up cokes (soft drinks). However, this year I want to focus more on taking things on for Lent and less on the giving something up. I hope to share more with you about some of the ways that I am observing Lent this year, as well as the reasons why I do this in the first place. Also, I plan to share why I am choosing to tell you these things instead of doing so in "secret".

One of the things that I am trying to do give away 40 things that I own during this Lenten season. This doesn’t include things like placing Pottery Barn and Land’s End catalogs in the recycle bin. But finding a new home for things that I feel like someone could put to use. I’m trying to find things that will either be a sacrifice for me or have some significance. Things that are not simply cast offs or belongings I want to get rid of. It’s an effort to simply my own life and hopefully bless someone else. I’ll try to keep the list up-to-date as I go and include a link on the sidebar of this blog.

That's quite interesting. Good luck, and I hope you get a lot out of it.
