An A-Z list of words that can change your life

A few years ago I found this in a magazine. It inspired me, hopefully it will do the same for you. Happy New Years to All from the Blair Family!

A New Year

I know that I'm not the only one who in the past has made all of these great New Years Resolutions with the intentions of making them come true. In the past few weeks I have been doing some soul searching and reflecting on what changes I want to make. I have decided not to make any resolutions for the first time. Instead I am going to try daily! We as humans should always serve God and honor him each day. I will be posting a blog soon about serving and finding our purpose.
