HAPPY  NEW YEAR!!

The new year right after the winter solstice is an opportnity to look forward, not backward.  I find myself not lingering in the past.   Much of my past has been gifted to me with great blessings.  On the other hand, I have experienced many challenges.  Like most people I have experienced some things that I regret.  The blessings I hope outweigh the challenges and failures.  

Looking forward, I pray that whatever I do this year will be for the good of those I encounter or who seek help.  I also have to do what I can within my potential.  That has waned somewhat (physically), but hopefully, I can help with the open hands that Jesus has given to me to do his work.  I also pray for patience (see previoius blog entries re: patience).

One of the most recent blessings I am grateful to carry into the new year is having two more grandsons and a new daughter in law 💟.  I am happy for our son David and his new family.  What a blessing for him and for us.

I pray that all that read this will realize blessings that come to you this NEW YEAR.
