Happy New Year!

Today has not gone as originally planned, but has been wonderful still the same.  Instead of all of us going to church this morning, yes we were going to attempt ALL, none of us went.  It is said that rest is healing, so today we have rested, truly rested, and I am feeling somewhat restored.  I wonder if this is the calm before the storm of this coming week, but I am not going to worry about tomorrow or the day after or the day after that. 

Focusing on our blessings, enjoying the sunshine and thinking of where we will put the garden is quite enough for today.  Throughout all of last year God remained faithful and I know that HE will continue to be faithful and today I will simply REST in that fact. 

Thank you, Lord, for our children, may we raise them wisely.
Thank you, Lord, for our home, may it be a peaceful sanctuary.
Thank you, Lord, for our food, may it strengthen us to better serve you.
Thank you, Lord, for this day, a new start once again and a wonderful reminder that your mercies are ever new.
Thank you, Lord, for your love, that it cannot be earned, doesn't end and you give it freely.
