Each of us makes New Years resolutions. Eat less, lose weight, read more, watch T.V. less, etc. It is a license to break and often times they are unrealistic. However I recently heard a different spin on New Years resolutions and those are the resolutions we should keep. These are the resolutions that others would say about us. Now I originally thought I would get my camcorder out and interview my wife, kids, co-workers, friends, etc. But that would put them on the spot, and besides they might be less than truthful to not make me look bad. But I know so much about my weak spots that I thought I would take a stab at it from each of the group of people that mean the most to me. So here goes.
- From God – Get to know me better!
- From my wife – listen to me more and better and don’t tune me out.
- From my kids – communicate with us more often and not just through mom as proxy.
- From my co-workers – praise us more and don’t just point out our faults.
- From my Kent State students – give us easier, more predictable tests. Oops sorry, that one is unattainable. Let’s try - be more clearer and tell us more clearly what we need to know.
- From my CLC brothers – Let’s hang out more often and just be guys.
- From my close friends – Pray more for us and bear our burdens.
- From our pastors – we are human like you and facing a huge spiritual task – will you remember us in prayer?
- From my parents (blood and in-laws) – Call and visit us. Appreciate what we have done for you.
I am not sure how I will do at this list but I think the first task is actually recognizing them.
