DECEMBER 31 2 Corinthians 5:17

BE A BETTER YOU!

This is the last day of the year. On this day, many in the world go for parties and celebrate. There would be much feasting. Many restaurants take this as a very important day as they have special meals which feature better food and they hope customers like them. Others get drunk, and party.

And some people on this day – New Year’s Eve – make resolutions. Has anyone ever heard of that? Resolution is a big word. What does it mean? When we make a resolution, we commit to something important to us. We try to change or improve ourselves in a certain way. Some resolutions
include: “I’ve made a resolution to eat less junk food!”, or “I will try not to call my brother any mean names.”.

Dear child, this is an opportunity to think of things you might want to make a resolution about. If you needing ideas, think about the lessons we’ve learnt together this month. What have we learned?

Some of them have been:
• Walk closer to God
• Be more obedient to Him
• Be a wise child
• To be more humble
• To put God in centre of our lives
• To pray more
• To not despise discipline

Dear child, in which area would you like to improve for the new year? 

Thought: Start the new year a better person!
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for protecting me and my family this year. I pray that I’d change for the better next year, that I’d be a better child, more consistent in my quiet time, and a kinder person next year. This is my prayer - in Jesus’ name, Amen.
