……忘记背后努力面前，（腓3:13）

当把日历翻到新的一年，我们要面对这样的事实——我们在世的日子是屈指可数的。

正如诗篇中写道“求你指教我们怎样数算自己的日子，好叫我们得着智慧的心。”

如果不反省自己，深思熟虑的人也没办法应对新的一年。

我们意识到时间短暂，也时常回想自己的失败，错误，以及错失的机遇，并且发誓新的一年一定充分利用好时间，花时间来愉悦身心，常常喜乐。

我们要多关注之前忽略的小细节即对家人表达自己的爱。

精神科医生告诉我们很多人渴望爱，离开家前花点时间亲吻一下自己的亲人，可以使我们工作的时候保持愉悦的心情。

要知道我们不是机器设备，更不是机器人，愿我们花些时间来多了解我们的家人。

家庭幸福的秘诀就是学习付出爱和接受爱，让我们以丰富多彩的方式来表达自己的爱吧！

Philippians3:13

…Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead.

As we flick the calendar to a new year, we come face to face with the fact that our days on earth are numbered. As the Psalmist wrote, “Teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” No thoughtful person can approach New Year’s Day without some introspection. We are reminded of the brevity of time. We also look back over our failures, mistakes, and missed opportunities, and vow that we will make better use of our time during the coming year. We should take time to be pleasant, to smile, to extend the small courtesies we often omit—to show love to our family. Psychiatrists tell us that most people are starved for love. Take time for the goodbye kiss; we shall go to work with a sweeter spirit. Let us take time to get acquainted with our families. We are not machines. We are not robots. The secret of a happy home is that members of the family learn to give and receive love. Let us take time to express our love in a thousand ways.

Prayer for the day
