On New Year's Eve, Daniel, a sales person, was in no shape to
drive, so he sensibly left his van in the parking lot and walked home.
As he was wobbling along, he was stopped by a policeman.
"What are you doing out here at four o'clock in the morning?" asked the police officer.
"I'm on my way to a lecture," answered Daniel.
"And who on earth, in their right mind, is going to give a lecture at this time on New Year's Eve?" enquired the police officer sarcastically.
"My wife," slurred Daniel grimly.
Moral of the story. If you've gotten off to a bad start already in 2014, before getting out of bed this morning, why not recite this little New Year's Day prayer?
Dear Lord
So far this year I've done well.
I haven't gossiped, I haven't lost my temper, I haven't been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish, or overindulgent. I'm very thankful for that. But in a few minutes, Lord, I'm going to get out of bed, and from then on I'm probably going to need a lot more help.
Amen
