The New Year has begun and I am Thrilled!

The New Year has begun and I am thrilled! The start of a new year means new opportunities, challenges and lives. There will be new opportunities to touch lives, be used of God, and see how God will work in our lives. We will also experience new challenges. Some of these will be difficult, some even heart breaking. Yet although every challenge comes wrapped in questions, we know that the changes inside the wrapping can be used for us to grow in grace, strength and trust in God. Tied to all of the opportunities and challenges are lives.

When I say lives this represents the cherished individuals God has blessed us with as the years have passed. They have taught us, loved us and sadly, sometimes for us, were called to leave us. Yet their love and memories live on… a special part of our lives. Then there are the wonderful lives that we have yet to meet but are waiting just around the next corner. These may help us to grow as individuals and we may be blessed to be a blessing in their lives.

It is February. January has already flown by. Don’t miss the opportunity to begin planning with excitement what you will do in the months ahead. Time will pass regardless what we do. Why not get involved in the blessings of the moments that await us? Spend time in the Word of God in the days ahead and look for what goals and dreams God will fulfill in us this year of our Lord 2010.

God bless!
