Living for Jesus Daily

Today seems like a good day to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Being that we are in the holiday season, I know that many people are thinking about their New Year's resolutions. People are making promises to themselves: to go on that diet, cut up those credit cards, spend more time with their aging parents, etc.

We have a need to deal with those issues that nag at our consciences. But, New Years' resolutions almost never work. So, what do we do?

I have found that taking it one day at a time is the only system that works. I have some personal daily resolutions that I would like to share as examples. My resolutions fall into two catagories; things I will do today and things I will not do today. Emphasis on today without being concerned about tomorrow. For example, today I will spend time in prayer and Bible study, today I will do something special for my wife to show her that I love her, today I will be productive on my job,and today I will exercise. Similarly, I will not complain about trival inconveniences today, and I will not eat unhealthy foods today, etc.
