Really Rich

So, it's a new year and a new day...Isn't this the day we are supposed to have our 'New year's' resolutions in place?

---I resolve to live better, think better, do better...in short be better...in the new year. So the thought goes.---

"It is better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all."
It is better to have resolved and lost than never have resolved at all. We should treat every day when we rise as if it is the first day of the new year, and consequently as if it is the first day of our 'new resolution'. The first day is always the easiest. We start out eager and committed to our resolutions. It is the second, and the third, and the...that become hard and we falter on those days.

So, here is a salute to this new year and all its (good) hopes, dreams, plans, and yes, resolutions. May all the good things we resolve come true. May we truly live, love, and laugh for the best that is in each one of us. And may we each truly glorify God, and be rich toward Him and those who are a part of His creation.

(1 Timothy 6:17-19)

Charge them that are rich in this present world, that they be not highminded, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate; laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on the life which is life indeed.
