I wonder how we will make a radical difference in this year 2014? Will we make any better use of our time? When this year is over, we shall have next 362 days. Will we be looking at the future with anticipation, or with fear?
Let's learn to use the 8,760 hours of the year 2014 in the wisest way we can for us and for the greater glory of God.
Here I want to suggest how we can make a happier New Year by keeping close the seven simple attitudes in our lives:
1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Appreciate what you have.
4. Give to the poor by reaching out to at least 5 families.
5. Expect less from people but give more from yourself.
6. Recognise the value of time.
7. Love God deeply and love your neighbor as yourself.
Prayer for the New Year:
“Lord, help us to understand Your will and Your Word. Help us to prosper in our walk with You and our work for You. Grant us Your power to endure the difficulties and still enjoy the journey.” (Cf. Colossians 1: 1-12).
Mary, Mother of God, grant us your maternal care.
