Posted in Jewels from God

I have been reading several blogs about New Year's resolutions and though I would post what has been on my mind today.  I too want to simplify these so that I am less likely to fail.  I came up with three words that sums up what my goals are for the coming year.  They are not original but are easy to remember.  You have probably seen this motto on plaques before, it is Live, Laugh, Love.  It seems simple and here is what it means to me.

Live - Live everyday for God - spend time at his feet daily and get to know him better.

Laugh - It seems I have gotten into a rut and forgotten how to laugh and have fun.  This is the year that I need to "cast all my cares upon the Lord" and not take them back and worry about them.  Worry is the biggest joy stealer out there and I have let it steal my joy for too long. 

Love- I need to focus on the blessings God has put into my life, primarily my husband, my children and great friends who love me, faults and all.  I want to be better at expressing my love and appreciation for these special people in my life. 

These three words pretty much sums up what is most important to me this coming year.
