Thinking of New Year's resolutions for this year, I realize the need to change things up a bit. I do not need to lose weight (Lisa tells me my butt has disappeared and that I need to put on some pounds!). Exercise is out, as I am not physically able to do much more than walk. I do not smoke and I do not drink so there is no resolution to be made there. There is however, one area of my life that I want to excel in. I want to be a better husband. With that in mind I am making the following resolutions.
Every day I resolve to-
Look her in the eyes and tell her that I love her.
Hug her and hold her like I never want to let her go.
Kiss her like I mean it.
Listen to her. Really and truly listen to her.
Pray for her, that God will bless her with peace and happiness, and a closer walk with Him.
Pray for myself, that God will help me love her and honor her in such a way that she will always feel safe and secure
I want to also do the more difficult things. Put the toilet seat down, pick up my underwear, and put my dishes in the dishwasher. Do all the little things that tell her I care.
I can think of no better resolution for 2021, and every year, than to love my wife better.

PS: You may have noticed that I did not mention giving her control of the TV remote. That would be crazy talk.
