I saw something the other day that I thought would make an EXCELLENT New Year's Resolution: Everyday pray for someone you do not know (someone different every day) - perhaps the clerk who checks you out at the supermarket, the person who cuts you off in traffic (surely would beat cussing him out, now wouldn't it), someone you just happen to see at the Wal-Mart (well, I guess I can't do that one), etc. [You're pickin' up what I'm putting down though, ain't ya?] You could just ask God to show you which stranger He wanted you to pray for each day. Since they say it takes 21 days to create a habit, can you just imagine what a praying machine you would be after 365 days. It would also be so cool to journal each day who you prayed for, wouldn't it? It would certainly take your focus off yourself now, wouldn't it, and just think of all the people who would get prayed for that maybe have no one else praying for them? I Can Only Imagine! (Doesn't Mercy Me or someone have a song with that title?) Wouldn't Mommy have LOVED that idea? (I remember being with her when the police were following O. J. Simpson's vehicle before they arrested him. I know she was praying for him.) Who will join me in making this resolution in her honor?
