New Year resolutions are always good - even when you may be unable to keep them! The very desire to bring changes to your life is to be appreciated. And who says that you will fail in 2010 just because you failed to keep your resolutions in 2009?

What are your New Year resolutions for 2010? Here are some suggestions for children. They are not arranged in any order of importance. You may make your own list.

• I'll help my parents at home. I will help in shopping, cleaning, cooking and house-keeping.
   
• I'll save up money for my needs instead of demanding money from parents to buy books/toys or other items of personal interest.
   
• I will work on being polite and not responding to my parent's requests with a smart tongue. I will remember my please, thank you, your welcome, and excuse me's. I will never say curse words or use the Lord's name in vain. I will show respect for my elders with my words.
   
• I shall keep my room clean and tidy.
   
• I'll go to bed early and sleep well for at least 8 hours.
   
• I'll study well everyday and do well in school.
   
• I'll keep a record of my TV viewing in order to limit my viewing. I will not switch on the TV without knowing what program I wish to watch and how long it lasts.
   
• I'll take care of my teeth by brushing after every meal.
   
• I'll make it a point to eat healthier. I'll eat a fruit and vegetable every day while limiting my sweets. After all, an apple a day keeps the doctor away. I will also drink more water and milk while drinking less cola and juice. I'll be taking better care of my body by watching what goes in to it.
   
• I will get proper exercise. I will join sports I like such as soccer, basketball, or volleyball. I will walk, jog, or ride a bike if it is not the season for the sport I like. When possible I will get outside and enjoy the fresh air.
   
• I'll dedicate my best time in a day for prayer and Bible study
   
• I'll read at least one good Christian book every month.
   
• I'll keep a journal to record my daily walk with God, my prayers, answered prayers, and God's messages to me.
   
• I'll share God's love and gospel with others
   
• I'll keep in touch with my friends and make more good friends.
