Something I hadn't thought of before.
Last Sunday, one of our pastors brought out a point I hadn't thought about before. He said that when he was a boy, he always thought that people say "Happy New Year!" because they're wishing everyone a happy New Years day. However, that is not the case; we're actually wishing everyone a good year!! As I was thinking about that, I wondered what a good year meant? It came to me that a "good" year does not mean that I am happy all the time and lots of great stuff happens to me. It means that I am doing the Lord's will in everything I do and praising Him with thankfulness, even in the hard times. When you think about it in that light, every year can and should be a good year. :)

Thanks Emily and Carilyn! I did not take the picture, my brother did. It was actually taken a long time ago, when I hadn't figured out the whole "how to make the camera work well" thing. Now, I've learned more and can take better pics. ;) But at that time, it was my brother who was the photographer. ;D
You have a Happy New Year too Carilyn!! Thanks!
Love,

Amen, to that.
2009 was nothing but a challenge for us, but it was a "good year".
To God be the glory
I too, am learning to praise God in the hardest of times. It can be very hard at times, but I realize that when I praise Him in the storm, He blesses me! What a wonderful, faithful Father we can ALWAYS rely on!
