What does Lent mean to you? In what ways do you acknowledge it?

Lent is the annual reminder that Jesus not only died for us, but he spent over 33 years on earth preparing to redeem us, living in a putrid backwater of the world, which the Israel of the time surely was, when he could have just as well stayed comfortably enthroned in heaven.
If God can spend 33 straight years sacrificing for us, even giving up his very life, than I can show my appreciation for his great work by spending a few days a year attempting to unite my meager sacrifices and good works with his.
Lent comes before Easter so that we too can prepare for the raising of our Lord Jesus Christ.
