A New Post on a New Blog. That seems to be a good way to start the New Year. What a wonderful New Year's Day we had. Even if Clemson got beat, it was still a wonderful day. All of my daughters, sons-in-law, grandchildren, husband and 2 dear friends were with us to eat and watch the big game. I don't take those times for granted. With a daughter and husband on the west coast, those times are rare. I thank the Lord for days like that.
I haven't made very many resolutions this year. Really, only one. I really, really want to live each day for THAT DAY. That Day is the day I will stand before Christ. I want my life to be used to influence others for Him.
I just read a book called THE LISTERNER. It reminded me again that everywhere I go there are hurting, struggling people. I want to hear their hearts and see their pain and offer them Jesus. It's not easy for me to talk to strangers but as the Lord speaks, I want to listen.
For today, I want to make the most of spending time with my Portland daughter. They fly out on early Sunday. I want to make our minutes together count.
One other thing, I want to do this year(I'm rambling now) is to be on a God watch. Instead of worrying about situations that look difficult(which I am prone to do) I want to watch each day to see how God is going to work out the situation. I know He is faithful to do that. Ok. This is enough for today. God Bless and Happy New Year!!
Mrs. Ellen - congrats on your new blog! I started to set up my own earlier this year but have yet to get it off the ground. I follow Julie's and Jessica's so I stumbled across yours this morning, too. I hope you weren't really up at 3 AM doing this post as the time clock says, and I hope your family is finally all better now. Happy New Year and God Bless!!
