We are both blessed beyond what we deserve, and somehow feel completely wiped out and beaten-down by our thirteenth year in the twenty first century.........
By the grace and mercy of God we have all been safe, most of us moderately healthy, and clothed, fed and a roof overhead, as they say.....whomever "they" are........
Financially speaking, we didnt fair much better than recent years........it is still uphill peddling.......and we are so tired......so very tired.......
But, we have not lost our determination, our hope, our drive for purpose and optimism.........
We are still standing and so thankful for the blessings in just that........so thankful that we are still here, in this amazing, beautiful place we call home........
And, as each year passes, we become more and more grateful for each day we open our eyes and feel God's grace surrounding us, driving us and carrying us forward........
So, I know not, whether this year will be a "good" one or even a year much different than the recent.......
But here is what I know for sure.......that it feels good just to be here, to be safe, to be with my family, altogether.......anywhere my God is.........
And He........is EVERYWHERE!
And that.....is without a doubt.......a "good" year!
I wish you and yours a New Year filled with everyday blessings........"goodness" in the small things.........
love in all things..........
