“Why did God lie to me?” said the heartbroken mother. “Doesn’t God promise in the book of Proverbs, ‘Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not turn from it?’” (Proverb 22:6).
If you’re reading this, on January 5th, I will have celebrated yet, another birthday. And with each year, I’m reminded that I was the only child in the first five minutes of my life. Then my twin sister showed up with the loudest cry, and she shattered my ears with love beyond anything I could have imagined. Yes, the Lord introduced me to my twin, Melody.
With a new year ahead of us, many of us may have set various goals for the upcoming year. New Year’s Resolutions, if you will, although I personally don’t tend to make them. But, whatever you may resolve to do, there is a little bit of advice I would like to offer: DON’T GIVE UP.
The start of a new year has so many connotations, hopes and promises.People make resolutions to be better, do better and live better. But one thing I have learned in my six decades of living, a new year is really just another day. The first week of January is just the week after the last week of December, and the week before the second week of January. Or, in simpler terms, just another day.
(StatePoint) Whether your New Year’s Resolutions include eating healthier, exercising more, or devoting more time to self-care, having a plan can help you reach your goals on a budget.
