New Years Resolution

Love more, when it is hardest to love. Show compassion, always. Be kind when deserved or not. Be patient, when you are at the end of your rope. Smile, when you are saddest. Pray when you are at your lowest. Thank God when you are at your highest. Written by Brenda Meier-Hans 12.18.2014
