Resolutions For A Better New Year!

• Vow to do some of the things you've always wanted to do but couldn't find the time.
• Call up a forgotten friend.
• Drop an old grudge and replace it with some pleasant memories.
• Share a funny story with someone whose spirits are dragging. A good laugh can be very good medicine.
• Vow not to make a promise you don't think you can keep.
• Give a soft answer.
• Free yourself of envy an malice. Encourage some youth to do his or her best. Share your experience and offer support. Young people need role models.
• Make a genuine effort to stay in closer touch with family and good friends.
• Resolve to stop magnifying small problems and shooting from the lip. Words that you have to eat can be hard to digest.
• Find the time to be kind and thoughtful. All of us have the same allotment...24 hours a day.
• Give a compliment. It might give someone a badly needed lift.
• Think things through.
• Be kind.
• Apologize when you realize you are wrong. An apology never diminishes a person. It elevates him.
• Don't blow your own horn. If you've done something praiseworthy, someone will notice eventually.
• Try to understand a point of view that is different from your own. Few things are 100% one way or another.
• Examine the demands you make on others.

MAY GOD BLESS US ALL THIS YEAR...! (JOSHUA 1:8; COL.3:1-2)
