Happy New Year!
It's time for a brand new year! Instead of looking back on a year full of circumstances we never saw coming and had a difficult time accepting, let's focus on being given a brand new slate and listing all the wonderful items we'd like to accomplish the next 365 days! I'm not talking about a list of resolutions you feel confident writing on a list and after a week several of your well-intentioned items have met with File 13! This list consists of good deeds and doing for others! The main focus is outward and not one spotlighting inward.
We are hoping for each of you (ourselves included) comfort in receiving the COVID vaccination so the war on this virus yields victory, our bodies will develop (according to God's design) the ability to ward off additional strains and our fellowship with friends and family return. These are attainable goals for the beginning of a brand new year. Additionally, may we remember how much we have been blessed to live in a country of freedoms and may we work diligently to show the love of our Lord in every conversation, deed and action.
Hopefully, we will live our lives as God intended...treating others as we would want to be treated and loving each other regardless of the color of our skin, our economic status, or our educational degree. We have been gifted by Almighty God and whatever your gifting, remember it was given to you not only to aid in providing a living, but in ministry for all God's children.
Happy New Year!
Blessings,
Gary & Cookie White

A Brand New Year As the New Year is only a few hours away, I sit with my computer wondering what I could possibly share that might be of encouragement to my faithful readers and supporters. Suggesting you make a list of resolutions would be useless because we all know a viable list doesn't survive 30 days. So, how might we begin this year? Instead of clicking glasses full of wine at midnight, how about going before the Lord in prayer and asking that He might direct our decisions?
Or what about reading a verse of scripture each morning or share a quick prayer with your children before they head off to school and/or your hubby before he goes to work? If you are retired, maybe pray each morning over a cup of coffee; call a shut-in once a week, or perhaps have a friend over for coffee (once the vaccines are distributed). There is always a few moments .... Read more by clicking the button below |
