Today, as we start a new year; let us not look back and dwell on our past mistakes. But let us focus on what is ahead, and how we can make a difference in our world. As the news reporters showed the year in review not one story was positive. Time seems to just slip through our fingers. As I look back over 2007 not all my stories were happy either, but I choose to focus on the good. Like the times I got to spend with my family, friends, and co-workers. The times when I laughed so hard, and ate so much I forgot all my troubles if only for a day. The times when God held my hand because I could not go on. The times when my co-workers came to my aid with a shoulder to cry on, a Dr. Pepper to drink, and my make-up compact so I'd be presentable to the world. All the times I spent at singings or church with family and friends.
I think of my niece and nephew and the future ahead of them. I pray they'll come to know Jesus as Lord of their life. I pray we all grow to be more like Jesus. We'll love deeper, forgive quicker, study the Word and pray harder than any year before. I pray that 2008 will be great!
