So, Happy New Year.
A new beginning, sometimes like seeing a field of fresh snow. A field pristine in its beauty, to be marked with ‘snow angels’, or footsteps, or scooped up to make snow balls. [make the first one count, then get ready to duck.]
The year lies before you, to be filled with urgent matters, or things often neglected, or matters needing attention, or fixing, or setting to rights. The wonderful thing about starting a New Year, fresh, unused, filled with such promise, is that we can really make such a beginning, whether we are 5 or 55 makes no difference.
So what goals shall we set? Lose some pounds? Befriend more people, share some gifts with others, read my Bible regularly (How often haven’t we set that goal and allowed it to lapse?), volunteer for some needed service? What.
My word for this day is that it’s all possible because.
“You, O Lord, keep my lamp burning, My God turns my darkness into light." And, ”As for God, His way is perfect, the Word of the Lord is flawless.” This from Psalm 18, vv. 28.30.
So, Happy New Year, and may God really turn your darkness into light.
