New Beginnings
January 11, 2010
It’s January—the time of new beginnings.
Each year we resolve to begin that new diet, exercise routine, job search, or self-improvement program.
Does it work? Often—not so well.
Losing weight and learning new skills are good goals. But so are making time to visit a lonely relative and taking better care of the earth by reducing, reusing, and recycling. Resolving to treat others as we would like to be treated sounds obvious—until we begin trying to live that goal.
This year, let’s open our hearts and resolve to make life a little better for our neighbors—all the creatures who live on this Earth of ours.
The Franciscan Sisters of Mary wish you joy and peace all through 2010.
