Dorothy

During the second month of nursing school, a professor gave his students a pop quiz. One conscientious student breezed through the questions, until he read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?"
Surely this was some kind of joke. He had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would he know her name? He handed in his paper, leaving the last question blank.
Before class ended, another student asked if the last question would count toward everyone's quiz grade. "Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say hello".
He never forgotten that lesson. He also learned her name was Dorothy.

Year 2007's Resolution

I will...

... like Paul, forget those things which are behind and press forward

... like David, lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help

... like Abraham, trust implicitly in my God

... like Enoch, walk in daily fellowship with my heavenly Father

... like Jehoshaphat, prepare my heart to seek God

... like Moses, choose rather to suffer than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season

... like Daniel, commune with my God at all times

... like Job, be patient under all circumstances

... like Caleb and Joshua, refuse to be discouraged because of superior numbers

... like Joseph, turn my back to all seductive advances

... like Gideon, advance even though my friends be few

... like Aaron and Hur, uphold the hands of my spiritual leaders

... like Isaiah, consecrate myself to do God's work

... like Andrew, strive to lead my brother into a closer walk with Christ

... like John, lean upon the bosom of the Master and imbibe of His spirit

... like Stephen, manifest a forgiving spirit toward all who seek my hurt

... like Timothy, study the Word of God

... like the heavenly host, proclaim the message of peace on earth and good will toward all men

... like my Lord Himself, overcome all earthly allurements by refusing to succumb to their enticements.


Realising that i cannot hope to achieve these objectives by my own strength, I will rely upon Christ, for "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me".
