New Year's Resolutions Anyone?

If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.
Philippians 2:1-2

Happy New Year!

Have you made any New Year's Resolutions yet? Maybe you're like my husband. He resolved some time ago to never make any New Year's Resolutions. He's been successful so far!

As for me, I have several small goals. There are a lot of little things I hope to accomplish through God's grace this year. I can't say that I've sat down and listed actual resolutions though.

However, after reading the above passage from Philippians, I wonder if you would join with me to make a joint resolution as servant leaders in Preschool and Children's Ministries. I am inviting you to resolve to be like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. What better way do we have to bless the Lord and the children we serve than walking in unity and love?

If you have time, take out your Bible (or go to www.biblegateway.com) and read the rest of the verses in Philippians chapter 2. These verses go on to tell us how we can be one in spirit and purpose by having the attitude of Christ Jesus. There is a lot of meat in these verses, and I plan to take some time during 2008 to share some insights with you that God has given me from this passage.

So what do you think? Will join with me in this New Year's Resolution?

Grace and Peace,
Donna
