Giving thanks for resolution.....

Thanksgiving's theme is Thankfulness, Christmas's them is Giving, and New Year's theme is Resolution. When you add the holiday season's themes up you get, "Giving thanks for resolution". Whether you believe that these holidays were man made or divine creations you cannot deny the power of the holiday season. Somehow they transform otherwise cold hearted, selfish, or even mean people into these robots of love and compassion. They make the transition of the fall to winter bearable. They make relationships mend and flourish; which is why there are so many June-August birthdays. So let's break this holiday theme down shall we?

• Giving - the act of giving entails many avenues including: time, money, forgiveness, and love (just to name a few)


• Thankfulness - the act of being thankful means that you take the time to thank the person(s) in your life that make it worth living. Thanking God for allowing you to continue your journey to fulfill his purpose for your life.


• Resolution - resolutions are often used as scapegoats to mask the unchanging issues in our lives. We make unimaginable New Year's resolutions only because "everyone else does it". Truthfully resolution is a promise to make a change. Its an allegiance against the issue(s) in your life that you will no longer be a slave to and will overcome; at any cost. Many of us want resolution but don't want resolve (think about it and you'll get it).

Now that you know my take on the holiday theme what are you going to do about it? Repeat the theme as the clock strikes midnight for 2010. When you are repeating those words speak it in prayer and think of all the issues you have in your life, think of all the people that surround your life that have helped you through those issues, and lastly thank those people; for they are placed in your life by God!

Giving thanks for resolution.....
