Another Year

Ever wonder why we celebrate a new year and gladly say good-bye to the previous? My wife asked me that question recently and I did not have a answer. Was last year really that bad that we are glad to see it go? Was it really that good that we would want to hold on to it? Is a year an "it"? Does it really matter? Did the world somehow change and the stroke of midnight on December 31st? No the world is still the same. The world has the same beauty and the same things that make it not so beautiful. That is the case no matter what year it is.

What about you? How have you changed over the last year? Closer to God? Are you more like the person you want to be. Perhaps you are less. So here is a question, what does God think about your 2010 and the person you have become through its events? Take a few moments to think and pray this over and you may be amazed with what you discover. My prayer for you is that you would know the mind of God for your 2011 and that you will be a part of what makes our world beautiful.

Stopping to reflect,

Paul
