Happy New Years Day

As another year draws to a close, many of us find ourselves looking back across 2013 and weighing the good and bad as if to decide which side the scales are tipped toward. There were days filled with laughter and days fraught with tears. There were times of celebration…there were seasons of mourning.

Perhaps we said goodbye to someone we loved, either by their passing or by their choosing a different path down life’s road. Many of us enjoyed a year of plenty, others a year of uncertainty. Many of us struggled with decisions, others with the consequences of our choices.

Regardless, though, of whether or not we deem 2013 a good year or a bad year, we are promised this…through all our days, our God is faithful and steadfast. Though sometimes we struggle to see the way He’s made for us, we do not walk that road alone. Looking back, each of us can see both good and bad days, but the true tragedy is if we cannot say that our blessings and our struggles have made us better people than we were the year before. 

We are having Pork roast, black eyed peas, greens and sweet potatoes for diner so I hope the best for 2014 !!!!
