BEGINNING IN GOD'S NAME...

2014... a treasure... wrapped and pressed into our hands...

We have today a wonderful gift that the Lord offers, wrapped and pressed into our hands...the gift of 365 beautiful days! And what better way to start the day than with the Blessings from the Lord:

The Lord bless you and keep you!

The Lord let his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you!

The Lord look upon you kindly and give you peace! (Num 6: 24-26)

It's all about the fullness of time...

At the appointed time the blessings come our way...

When the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman...

so that we might receive adoption as chilren... (Gal 4:4,5)

And as we begin this New Year...

let us do as the Shepherds did...

Glorifying and Praising God

for all that we have heard and seen...(Lk 2:20)

for all the good that we have experienced during the year and 

for all the good that is in store for us this NEW YEAR...

and may be an apt prayer for today could be:

God grant me 

the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

the Courage to change the things I can, and

the Wisdom to know the difference!

THANKS to everything that has been...

AMEN to everything that is in store!

WELCOME 2014
