In years past my New Year’s Resolutions were like these piles of ropes on a fishing dock in Maine!  Jumbled, intersecting, tangled and not really defined as to where they begin and end!

 

If age brings us anything it’s clarity of purpose!  It also teaches us to not over reach, to keep things simple and only promise those commitments we can keep!

 

So, these are my few, simple, to the point, cut to the chase, promises to God and myself.

 

1.  1.  God loves me, (and all of us), so I will commit to love others, as He does, acepting others for who they are and love them without judgement.

 

2.  God sacrificed everything to be with me (and all of us), so, I will sacrifice everything.  This mean putting nothing above my devotion to Him.

 

3.  I have been blessed with a great life, family and friends, so, I will love and cherish them and show them the respect and attention they deserve.

 

4.   I will seek first the Kingdom of God and as He promised;  He will meet my needs and even the desires of my heart.  As I walk with him He will change the desires of my heart to be those things that please and honor Him.

 

That is more than enough to concentrate on through out the coming year and the rest of my life here on this earth!

 

I pray and hope that your 2022 is the richest and most fulfilling year you have ever experienced!

 

Blessings and may God walk closely with you,
