I stopped making “New Year’s Resolutions” long ago, but I still take a look back between Christmas and New Year’s and take time to write down things I’d like to see happen in the coming year.

The Law of Health #8 is to Trust in Divine Power. This is applicable to—and essential for—diabetics, whether or not they are Seventh-day Adventists or even Christian.
