Today, I will...





A new year has dawned.  Yesterday is gone.

But today...


Today, I will store His Word in my heart.
Today, I will pray.
Today, I will bow my head in His Presence. 
Today, I will carry my cross.
Today, I will seek Him.
Today, I will take the narrow way.
Today, I will continue to run my race with the intent to win.
Today, I will show my children how to love God.

Today, I will read.  
Today, I will write.  
Today, I will sing.
Today, I will dance.
Today, I will enjoy nature.
 Today, I will teach my children how to praise God. 

Today, I will let God be God.
Today, I will not despair or be disquieted.
Today, I will not worry about tomorrow.  
Today, I will teach my children that God can be trusted.

Today, I will delight in my children.
Today, I will hold them and kiss them.  
Today, I will be slow to anger.
Today, I will love their father.
Today, I will speak softly.
Today, I will listen to them.
Today, I will bless them.
Today, I will allow them to live with the consequences of their choices. 
Today, I will gently and firmly correct them.  
Today, I will model God's love for them.

Today, I will forgive.
Today, I will listen with my heart.  
Today, I will seek to understand.
Today, I will give without counting the cost.  
Today, I will serve - cheerfully and with my whole heart.
Today, I will do little things with great love.  
Today, I will be a blessing.


Today, I will be thankful.  
Today, I will be teachable. 
Today, I will not take offence.
Today, I will repent.
Today, I will ask for forgiveness.
Today, I surrender to His will.
Today, I will come to the Father like a little child.


Today, I will be joyful. 
Today, I will be courageous.
Today, I will cherish every moment as a gift from the Lord.

Today, I will soar.  




Tomorrow, I will begin anew.  Blessings in this new year.  Merry Christmas!
