New year, new experiences right? Well, I am doing something new for the second time and it's just as hard as it was the first time. My family has been helping me every day. So this post is dedicated to family.
God gave us family to be there for us. They help us through both the tough new experiences like teeth pulling, the first time a friendship ends, the first time a loved one dies, or when a good friend moves. Their there for the fun new experiences too, like our first time taking a long trip on you own, first pointe shoes, your solos, and all those times you "drew" them when you were 5. They will be there for your first date, first heartbreak, first job, graduation, college, wedding, and all the hard times and great times in between!
What do we give our familys in return, most of the time we are nice and there for them too. But what about the regular days when its just regular life. Are we always kind, are we always helpful and selfless and putting others first? Not me, so one of my new years resolutions is to be more selfless and helpful to my family.
I want to know what your resolutions are, leave them in comments
Good post, Erika! It is so easy to be kind to "others" and let our selfish nature come out around our family.
ReplyDeleteOne of my goals for the new year is to be more consistent in sharing what God is teaching me from His Word. I have heard that you remember things much better if you share them with others. My mom loves it when I share something I gleaned or am trying to apply, but I so rarely remember to do so.
