New Years Resolutions...Something to think about.

Something to think about…

In our Relief Society lesson we were asked to think about Eternal Progression. I found a few comments very helpful.
1. With this being the New Year we find an added Hope in starting anew and making change.
2. The difference between New Year’s resolutions and Eternal progression. New Year’s Resolutions if not completed 100% or if completed you are done. Finished, and no more work is required. Eternal progression requires using the Atonement and continuously moving closer to our Heavenly Father. Which we will at some point fall short or mess up, but with utilizing the Atonement we will become closer to him and we can start again. And again and again. Work and growth is always required.
3. I loved the question that was asked, “What have I done or not done today which displeases Thee?” What in my life can I change to please the Lord?
I enjoyed thinking more deeply about these thoughts. As I create my “New Year’s” goals this year I am going to think more about making my progression more towards accomplishing things that will bring my closer to my Savior and towards my Eternal Progression and less on the all time favorite…loosing weight! Think about it...(Thank you Emily it was great!!!)
