New Year’s Resolutions – Maybe

by Beth | Jan 6, 2005 | in the Spirit

OK – so, my resolution wrt this site is to post more often! Like once a day add something that has crossed my mind.

Assignment: Find 5 things to be grateful for….

Response:

A beautiful anniversary card from John
The pleasure of a small, very pregnant dog when I do something simple like rub her belly gently
The health of all 3 of my children
Friends (sisters in Christ) like Mies, Amanda & Rosalee who can share joy and grief and love
feeling better – and less bitchy today than yesterday

Resolution carried out for one day….

Reconciliation
What about this Sunday’s Gospel hit me? For reference, read below. Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 18,15-20.
