In all the busyness of this time of year have you managed to set time aside to draft out a few New Year’s resolutions?
I know that there are a lot of people who don’t believe in such things but I reckon that any time that we can sit down and take stock of our lives and make plans for the time ahead is time well spent.
Of course there are all the usual resolutions that people make about losing weight, getting fitter, quitting smoking, reducing debt and all the rest but I wonder what 2006 would look like if we made resolutions and goals about improving relationships with those close to us; and then asked those people, or others, for help in staying accountable to those goals.
I wonder how things would be if we made resolutions about helping those we may not even know but who need a hand up.
How would 2006 shape up if we determined that family was more important than the demands of work and then structured our schedules accordingly?
What would it be like if we decided that 2006 was the year that we would look beyond the physical and material things of this world to discover deeper spiritual meaning?
I wonder.

Funny you should say that Rodney as that’s the sort of thing I base my new years resolutions on. I figure there is no point in making them unless I can achieve them so I set some out for each area of my life (ie Spiritual, work, relationships etc)!
Hi Rodney
Your post resembles mine in a way.

Sounds good. Happy 2006 to you!
hmmmm, good points to ponder!
and what if we really believed all the things that Jesus told us … i mean down in our hearts, right to the tip of the toes believing?
maybe i would REST in Him, despite the earthly cares …
Happy Happy New Year, Rodney, to you and your sweet little family!
I think my main resolution at the moment is simply to GET A ROUTINE!!! I haven’t had one since I was pregnant at the start of the year!
Happy New Year Rodney,
I start my new year off with a 30 day fast and If I could stay as focused on Christ for the rest of the year it would be an incredible year.
God Bless
