The Blessing of Time

I just LOVE the New Year! I love it because I feel like I get a fresh start in so many areas of my life. Sure, the goals from last year carry over, but there's something about the new year that makes the goals seem more doable. I feel similar about summer breaks, spring break, Thanksgiving, and sometimes just a four day weekend. What a blessing that God gives us chunks of time with definite ends and beginnings so that we feel that sense of renewal and energy. So, welcome to a new year full of possibilities and special times. Welcome to a year with challenges that will bring you closer to God if you let them. Welcome to a year of rejuvenation and rest. Welcome to 2009!
