How Much Joy Do We Give Others?

Have you made your New Year resolution? Somehow these resolutions seem to disappear rather early in the year.

We resolve to lose 20 pounds this year, but somehow the pounds don’t come off. We resolve to exercise three days a week. That one lasts usually until early February. We all have had these experiences.

This year will be different for me. I have decided to make resolutions I am certain to keep. Number one, I resolve to eat more than I need this year. Two, I resolve to exercise less. Three, I resolve to play as much golf as possible. Four, on the days I am not golfing I resolve to sleep in late.

I might well be able to keep these resolutions but they won’t make a great deal of difference in my life. So today I want to talk about some resolution we all could adopt that could make a difference. I want to talk about four resolutions that come from God that could make 2011 the best year ever for us. Some come from the Rev. James Petticrew.
