 <\/p>\n

In years past my New Year’s Resolutions were like these piles of ropes on a fishing dock in Maine! \u00a0Jumbled, intersecting, tangled and not really defined as to where they begin and end!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If age brings us anything it’s clarity of purpose! \u00a0It also teaches us to not over reach, to keep things simple and only promise those commitments we can keep!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So, these are my few, simple, to the point, cut to the chase, promises to God and myself.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a01. \u00a0God 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.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    2. \u00a0God sacrificed everything to be with me (and all of us), so, I will sacrifice everything. \u00a0This mean putting nothing above my devotion to Him.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    3. \u00a0I 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    4. \u00a0 I will seek first the Kingdom of God and as He promised; \u00a0He will meet my needs and even the desires of my heart. \u00a0As I walk with him He will change the desires of my heart to be those things that please and honor Him.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    That is more than enough to concentrate on through out the coming year and the\u00a0rest of my life here on this earth!<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    I pray and hope that your 2022 is the richest and most fulfilling year you have ever experienced!<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Blessings and may God walk closely with you,<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n
