Christians Resolutions To Start Any Time Of The Year
I CAN START THESE:
Like Paul, forget those things which are behind and press forward (Philippians 3:13).
Like David, lift up my eyes to the hills from which my help comes (Psalm 121:1).
Like Abraham, trust my God implicitly (Hebrews 11:8).
Like Enoch, walk in daily fellowship with my heavenly Father (Genesis 5:24).
Like Moses, suffer rather than enjoy the pleasure of sin for a time (Hebrews 11:25).
Like Job, be patient and faithful in all circumstances (James 5:11).
Like Joseph, turn my back on all evil advances (Genesis 39:12).
Like Gideon, advance even when my friends are few (Judges 6).
Like Andrew, strive to lead my brother to Christ (John 1:40-41).
Living Life
As we live life day in and day out, are we living in a way that shows Jesus to others? Alien Webster wrote, “The shortest verse of the Bible says a lot! It tells us that the Great Physician had good bedside manners. Jesus knew that people generally do not care how much you know until they know how much you care. He knew tht Mary and Martha needed someone to care about their pain. They had lost a brother and their hears were breaking, so, even though He was about to resurrect Lazarus, He/iti wept (John 11:35) with those that wept (Romans 12:15; Job 30-25)” So, we go about our daily activities, are we showing those in the community that we care about them. Are we weeping with those who weep? Are we excited with those who are excited? Are we joyous? Do we laugh? Are we being genuine around those we come in contact with, so that we can show them Jesus and His saving message? Are we living in a way that Jesus lived, by living out this Jewish proverb: Among those who stand, do not sit; Amond those who sit, do not stand; Among those who laugh, do not weep; Among those who weep, do not laugh. Let each of us live in a way thaat shows Jesus every day. We need to realize that we might be the only one that someone sees that day or week, that reminds them or teaches them about Jesus. We hope and pray that everone has a blessed week,
Wouldn't You Like To Know -
(on the lighter side)
A boy asks his father, “Dad, are bugs good to eat?” “That's disgusting. Don't talk about things like that over dinner,” the dad replies. After dinner the father asks, “Now, son, what did you want to ask me?” “Oh, nothing,” the boy says, “there was a bug in your soup, but now it's gone.”

It is hard to express love with a clenched fist.
For safe driving—see that all the nuts are tight except the one at the wheel.
