New Year Resolutions

The beginning of a New Year is an ideal time to propose some life changing resolutions. Over the years, most of mine have had the same trend: exercise more regularly … include more fruit and vegetables in my diet … eat less double churned butter pecan ice cream! This year, I have added two to the list: be more patient with others, and share Jesus more often.

My dad shared Jesus with me at a very early age. That sharing was the foundation built on by those who followed; pastors, Sunday school teachers, Christian radio and television, Christian family and friends, and the reading of many, many books, including the Holy Scriptures.

My dad is now in heaven, but I do not believe that he ever imagined what a life changing impact those moments of sharing would have had in my life.

“The greatest honor you can do for anyone is to introduce him or her to Jesus Christ.”¹

 
“Father this year, help me to keep my New Year resolutions, but most of all, help me to share your love with others boldly, even though I may never see the life changing results in their lives.”

                                    In Jesus name,

                                                Amen.
