For Lent you’re supposed to give up something that’s lasting. Why don’t you offer up your temper? That’s what I’m gonna do for Lent. I’m gonna give up my temper and try to be nice to my enemies, wherever they are. But it’s nice to be nice to enemies when you don’t even know where they are. 

Maybe they’re far far away but I don’t know them. So I really can’t give up that since I need to give up something that I know is wrong in me… 

…And then perhaps these 40 days will get you in a habit, not this kind of habit, but a habit of not losing your temper, a habit of being nice, a habit of being kind.
