Resolve
~
The other evening, going into Christmas Eve service at my parents' church, Savannah sweetly said "Aunt Jess. I am going to be SO good, you won't believe your EYES!"
~
Now, I won't say she was bad. But, needless to say, by the end of the evening, she was losing restraint. Bored and restless, her resolve quickly began to crumble.
~
But, aren't we all like that? So determined to just astonish everyone with our exceptional behavior. Saintly gestures and only kind words falling like honey from our lips.
~
Yeah, right!
~
And how long does that typically last? Until our feet actually hit the floor in the morning?
~
Thankfully, there's usually tomorrow and His mercies are new every morning.
~
Who knows, maybe one day we'll get it right. But, until then, we're right there with ya, Savannah. Resolve chipping away with every tick of the clock. At least you know you're in good and plentiful company, Girl.

So, what have YOU resolved to accomplish in 2009?
