CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Here are some quotes about the end of one year and the beginning of another:
“What the new year brings to you will depend a great deal on what you bring to the new year.” – Vern McLellan (author)
“New Year’s Day is everyman’s birthday.” – Charles Lamb (English writer)
“It’s never too late to become who you want to be. I hope that you live a life that you’re proud of, and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start over.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald
“Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.” – Benjamin Franklin
All of these quotes are about being better and starting over, if need be. They use the new year as the turning/starting point. However, we do not need to wait until the new year to make a change that we need. We can do it any and every day, especially through Christ.
I don’t like new-year resolutions, but if you are looking for some ideas, here are some:
“Resolution One: I will live for God. Resolution Two: If no one else does, I still will.” – Jonathan Edwards (American theologian)
“Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind.” – Ecclesiastes 12:13
MOLESKIN:
Prayers for Ribbed’s wife, Blindside, and the new year.
