Simplifying New Year's Resolutions: Resolution #1 "Love God, Love People"

I mentioned in my post yesterday that for the next 3 days I would be further defining each of my resolutions for 2011.  My first of 3 resolutions is "Love God, Love People."  I believe that no matter what your spiritual or religious beliefs, it is important to have some kind of spiritually related resolution.  My faith keeps me grounded & inspired.  I am actually borrowing the "Love God, Love People" from my churches new mission statement.  I find this mission to be simple yet so profound to how I want to live my life & interact with those around me.  So, how will I do this?  For the first part, Love God, I can define this by how I interact with God.  For me this means spending time in prayer & meditation and reading my Bible.  Loving People, means living out the mission that I believe God has called me to.  Love my husband, kids, family, friends, neighbors and everyone whom I interact with.  As I continue simplifying my life, I will have more quality time to express this love.  This quality time spent loving others can be by making memories, lending a helping hand, offering a listening ear & shoulder to lean on, and having what I like to call those warm fuzzy interactions where you know you are loving someone unconditionally.  If on December 31, 2011 I can look back & see that I had a year of great interactions with God & spent time outwardly focused on loving those around me, I will know that I have fulfilled this resolution.
