Rather than give up swearing or sweets for 40 days, wouldn't it make more sense to give a bit of yourself during this time? Imagine what you could accomplish if you spent 40 days...
volunteering in a homeless shelter
picking up litter off the highway
reading to the elderly and infirm
teaching an illiterate to read
counseling a troubled child
babysitting for an overworked single mom
You get the picture. I know about alms, I know that some of you are actually doing things to help others. Thing is, all anyone seems to be talking about is what you are giving up, not what you can do for others. If you gave of yourself for 40 days, just imagine the difference you could make.
Just thought I'd throw this out there.
