CHILTON COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FROM THE DIRECTOR

like our family or co-workers?

Should we determine to lose weight? To be kinder: To give more of ourselves? To attend church more often? To spend more time with those we love? The word itself, resolution, means that we have determined To exercise? While all of these would probably be beneficial, or decided on a course of would they be sustainable? action. The question is, What course of action would be good Would we follow through, or for us or for those around us As we begin a new year, maybe we should make a few resolutions.

would we quit after just a few weeks? Our track record on New Year’s resolutions should provide the answers. Perhaps we should simply say with Jonathan Edwards: “Resolution 1: I will live for God. Resolution 2: If no one else does, I still will.” These two resolutions would be good for everybody. Happy New Year!
