This is the time we all began to talk about things that are important to us in the New Year. We try to outline our goals, resolutions, and plans. This is the first time in 45 years I'm not planning out a church calendar.
Because last year was a year of transition for Becky and I, we decided to re-affirm some of the commitments we have made to God. What was it we would continue to do with all our hearts and minds and souls? What would we pour our lives into this year?
Here are some of the affirmations we made to God and to each other for the year.
-We will continue to love the Lord our God with all of our heart and soul and strength.
-We will continue to serve and to please Him in all of our ways.
-We will continue to read and obey the Bible, using it as the standard for our life.
-We will continue to love and be faithful to each other.
-We will continue to love and be faithful to our children (son/daughter-in-law) and grandchildren.
-We will continue to give our tithes and offerings to the Lord.
-We will continue to work hard and do the best we can to win people to Christ and help the unfortunate around the world.
There were more, but these were the most important to us.
How about you? Do you write out your commitments to God? If not, I encourage you to do so. Keep them in your Bible, so they are always before you. Make this year the best it can be with the help of the Lord.
