A New Year's Resolution

I hope to spend this year in the moment - enjoying life each day. No planning for new work opportunities, new money making schemes, money oriented goals. I want to be in the moment and to listen to God's call for my life. To be able to be hear His call, His purpose for my life.
I want to spend my time enjoying my talents, my gifts, my family, my friends. I want to appreciate people and their places in my life. I want to be a better person, I want to love my husband well and to be kind to him every day. I want my children to know that they are loved and cherished, not smothered or indebted to anyone in any way. I want to love and be loved. I want to be calm, contented, fulfilled with the best things in life and not to worry about those things that I have no control over or that do not matter. I want to love life, love my family, my friends and above all my Lord with all my heart. I want this to be my best year yet. I need to take the "I want" out of all of these desires and put in "What does God want" in instead. Amen.
