More AND Less

January 5, 2015 by Barbara

I love New Year’s. It’s like a fresh start. A do over. I’ve made resolutions but like everyone else I usually fail before the end of the month. And that’s ok.

Every day with God is a fresh start.

My favorite Scripture is Lamentations 3:22-23:

“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”

 

Yesterday, I was a mess.

Yesterday, I was not nice to someone.

Yesterday, I knew I was supposed to call someone. But I didn’t because I was self-absorbed.

Yesterday is gone. It’s over. What’s done is done. Forget it.

 

As a Christian, I ask forgiveness for my sins, bad attitude and selfishness. I want to do better. Every day is a fresh start. A do over. Thank you Jesus!

For 2015 I hope to do More of This and Less of That.

First, some of the More of This:

Cooking, smiling, praying, listening, hiking, laughing, veggies, doing the Word, dates with hubby and vitamins.

And some of the Less of That:

Worry, soda, clutter, Facebook, emails, nagging, procrastinating, selfishness, judging, sugar and eating out.

There are so many more I could add but don’t want to burn myself out too early. 🙂

Happy New Year Friends! I pray your 2015 is filled with much joy, happiness, laughter and love.

In His Grace,

Barbara Ann

Welcome!


Hi Friend, Welcome to my corner of the online world, where I write to encourage and give hope. I believe everyone could use a dose of hope from time to time so whether you need hope for your marriage, your closet, or anything in between, I hope you find some encouragement here.

Having been through some hard situations, I understand what it's like to live hopeless, depressed, angry, and bitter until God rescued me in His Love and Grace. In Him, I found an Anchor to keep me safe and secure. My passion is to share how He has rescued me and give others encouragement, as He has for me.
