My grandma, Annetta began giving all the women in her family Daily Guideposts for Christmas last year. If you aren't familiar with these they are daily sweet lessons/thoughts/prayers for the christian life. I've really gotten to enjoy (and look forward) to the 5 minute read each day. I should have brought the book with me over Christmas while we were away visiting family. So, I'm a bit behind in my reading. I just finished Saturday, December 31, and I thought it was such a great reflection for NYE Resolutions. I love this last paragraph,
"I realized that the real question confronting me wasn't, How did I spend last year? but How will I spend the next? How will I use the most precious of God's gifts-life and time? I can make long lists of things to accomplish and commit myself to New Year's resolutions. But I really need to do only two things: Love God with all that I am, and love my neighbor as much as I love myself. This is all that really matters. Lord, keep me from seeing my days as something I own but rather as a gift that comes from You." -- Scott Walker
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. Psalms 90:12
