Week 46
Positive post Sunday, December 31, 2017- Week 46.
The Triangle of Life!
As a gift to my children and grandchildren this Christmas, I created The Triangle of Life, a guide to a spiritual and healthy life. The three legs of the triangle are Faith, Family and Fitness. This Positive Post Sunday will focus on Faith, with Family and Fitness the next two weeks. I start with Faith, because that’s where it all begins. Faith is our foundation and the older I get it becomes increasingly more obvious that without faith, life would be very difficult and often meaningless. Faith is not about the building we go to for church, it’s the belief in God and Jesus and living our lives in his likeness.
With the New Year coming soon, I find it fitting to add a “Faith Checkup” to my list of New Year’s Resolutions and I invite you to do the same. Here are some tips for a faithful life I developed over the years to help ground me in my faith.
Tips For a Faithful Life
Faith: A Strong belief in God based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof.
– Keep a kind heart before God
– Model your life after Jesus’ life
– Consider your faith in your daily decisions
– Go to Mass (consecration), not just church (the building)
– Raise your children with the gift of faith
– Know that God is always there, all you need to do is ask for his support or forgiveness
– Remember to thank God for all that you have and include him in your celebrations
– Live your spiritual life as if tomorrow was your last day, it might be
May your New Year be filled with faith and happiness!
