Is this post a bit late…?
well maybe…
or maybe not! 😀
The meaning of resolution from the dictionary as I am using it is:
res·o·lu·tion [rez-uh-loo-shuh] noun
2. a resolve or determination: to make a firm resolution to do something.
#1 Increased Time in the Word.
#2 Getting Serious About my Health, Firstly my Weight.
#3 More WORK Minded.
#4 More Attentive to my Husband.
#5 More Diligent in Homeschooling.
#6 Better Steward of our Finances.
Practice these things, immerse yourself in them,
so that all may see your progress.
1 Timothy 4:15 ESV
There are many more things I need work on, but these are the ones that come to mind first and foremost. 😉
I will elaborate more on each of my resolutions in posts through this month. I will end with a poem for our encouragement!
Have you made any New Year’s resolutions that you made and are still trying to keep?
Ring Out Wild Bells – Alfred Lord Tennyson
Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light;
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
For those that here we see no more,
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.
Ring out a slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
Ring out the want, the care the sin,
The faithless coldness of the times;
Ring out, ring out my mournful rhymes,
But ring the fuller minstrel in.
Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic slander and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.
Ring out old shapes of foul disease,
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.
Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring in the Christ that is to be.
Blessings, ~Mrs. R (aka Aunt Mae)
