Where is your focus? Is it on guns, the gay agenda, the education of our children, ettiquette, or is it on Christ? When we have focus we are believers and lovers of God's heart and soul. We wait on Him. I have to admit that I am one without patience, one that wants things on my time. But God is teaching me, teaching me to be patient, to be the same as His Son was the same. And that it is OK to feel sad and suffering even if I smile on the outside....thank You God for your Son...

Disappointment

Life is full of disappointment. Can we do anything about it? Probably not. Except rejoice in the Lord always, as Paul says and so I say rejoice, rejoice and again I say rejoice....and think on things beautiful, pure, trustworthy...

Newness

Babies fascinate me. They explore. They see and survey. They can smile and laugh at the same time. And if they are lucky, they never lose this. They maintain their curiosity and are never afraid to look into things. Are we as adults like that? If we hope in God and in the work God did in Jesus, then we will. We can maintain that joioe de vivre.

ANEW

This is the forest primeval...so begins Longfellow's poem of Hiawatha. Wonderful poetry. How do you feel about beginning anew? Does it scare you? Or do you want to be an adventurer? Whatever it is, go in with eyes open, go in with heart ready, go in sharp and ready to go. Follow the light that God gives you and you will do well this year!!!
