A Fresh Start

With every New Year comes the inevitable new resolusions. Is that you? Have you made some decisions that you want to make changes in your life?

Have you already abandoned them? It is not always easy to make changes and then stick to them. Ask the perpetual dieter. It is best to make little steps to change, one decision at a time and not because "it's that time of the year", or because everyone else is doing it.

In the words of that popular song:

One Day At A Time

I'm only human--I'm just a man/woman.
Help me believe in what I believe and all that I am.
Show me the stairway that I have to climb,
Lord, for my sake, teach me to take, one day at a time.

One day at a time, sweet Jesus, that's all I'm asking of you.
Teach me today, to do all the things that I have to do.
Yesterdays gone, sweet Jesus, and tomorrow may never be mine.
Lord, for my sake, teach me to take, one day at a time.

Do you remember, when you walked among men?
Well, Jesus you know, if you're looking below, It's worse now than then.
There's cheating and stealing--violence and crime.
So for my sake - teach me to take one day at a time.

One day at a time, sweet Jesus, that's all I'm asking of you.
Teach me today, to do all the things that I have to do.
Yesterdays gone, sweet Jesus, and tomorrow may never be mine.
Lord, for my sake, teach me to take, one day at a time.

Have a blessed day.
