I dont remember ever making a New Years resolution, but maybe this will qualify as one, but if not, then it may be as close as I ever come to making one. I am going to work on worrying less in the coming year, and hope that you will also. This from the Worrier In Chief. It may also qualify me as a chief hypocrite by telling someone else not to worry so much, when I have done so much of it myself, but as I get older, I am learning. A friend told Cathy she was having anxiety attacks that something bad was going to happen. I know some people have panic attacks which they have not control over, but it got me thinking. Something bad IS going to happen! We live in an imperfect world and reality is that bad things DO happen. The thing is that I cannot stop all the bad things that can and do happen, so it makes no sense to worry about them. Isnt that what Jesus himself said? In Matthew chapter 6 Jesus was telling his followers to consider the lilies, and how God clothed the grass of the field when he said in Matthew 6:27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? In other words, worrying wont prevent or change a thing except give you a shorter life expectancy. In verse 34 Jesus said, Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Jesus never promised an easy road with no problems, but He did promise to walk that road with us! Now, may the New Year be a year where bad things are few and good things are plentiful. Meanwhile, dont worry so much!
