Did someone say something about making friends? ....
... got me to thinking about friends for a bit, .... and I thought of the proverb .....
Prov 18:24
A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
... and I thought of how there is also the matter of showing respect, honor, kindness, good manners, etc, ....
... and the need for real communication with listening to what others say and not jumping to conclusions and twisting and distorting and corrupting what others say....

Friendship has nothing to do with whether a person agrees with you or not. I have many friends who are not even saved. Some people like to have friends who "baby" them along with sweet syrupy words. This is because they are immature and they are spiritual babies. This is 2017 and it is time to grow up and be adult men and women in the Lord. Get strong. I am glad that Jesus was not so wimpish. Thank you Jesus!

6. Waste money
7. Be more sarcastic
The only one I cannot do is #7, it seems I can't be anymore sarcastic than I already am. I am a master of sarcasim.
Seems like some difficult resolutions to fulfill, but perhaps I'll take the challenge and try them myself

But per your other meme, the only credit due me is for nudging you to make it based on your own other meme. ;)

"Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways." (Job 22:28). Rather than listen to someone prophesy to you how your 2017 is going to be, only to get disappointed later when it does not come to pass, why not hear from God for yourself about your new year and then YOU decree and declare how your new year is going to be. You can believe the words of your own mouth than you will the words of some meme on facebook.

Yes, it's a very difficult list of resolutions, but if you're aiming at something, aim high. I'll let everyone know how successful I am.

I like the idea of "goals" as opposed to "resolutions." A goal is something to be reached, a resolution can set you up for failure.
