So 2013 is officially here! I spent a quiet evening with my family.... we went and had dinner at Texas Roadhouse.... and then my sister and I made a Wal-Mart stop and headed over to my Grandmother's to check on her..... and amid all the pops and booming of firecrackers.... one thought has been constantly in my mind tonight..... God has been SO good to us this past year..... He has answered so many prayers, and we've had plenty to eat, a place to live, and everything we needed......
Earlier, I kept thinking, well, I'm still here! And by that, I mean that God has kept me by His Grace and Mercy..... and that I am still in Church, serving the Lord.... with His continued mercy, that's exactly where I want to be this time next year, too! Like the old song says: "I've got no reason to quit"!!!! I am reminded of the words of Peter, in John chapter 6 and verse 68, who said: "....Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life."
You know, this new year may be rather difficult..... I know there are many changes in store for our Country, and for the World as a whole..... but I don't have to fear..... it's all in God's Hands..... and He never forsakes or forgets His Children!!
So I will Trust in Him.....
Thank You, Lord Jesus.... for Your Faithfulness.... I love You above all else........
Happy New Year, my precious friends and Family! I wish you all Peace and Joy in 2013 and always!
Jenni
Happy New Year to you and yours, Jen! May God richly bless you all this year!!!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful Thankful Post! Yes! I am so thankful for a God who loves me and is always so faithful! A very Happy and blessed New Year to you and your dear family.
ReplyDeleteThe card is beautiful!
Much love,
Sue
I always love to read your testimonies of how the Lord has blessed you in your life. :)
ReplyDelete2012 was a difficult year for me, as it started with illnesses. Well, the illnesses are still with me, but by God's grace, I'm still here, alive, and able to move and breathe. On top of that, I have a husband to care and provide for me during my seasons of sickness.
I'm not sure what the year 2013 will bring, but as you stated, those who trust in the Lord have nothing to fear. So, I am going to keep leaning and trusting in Him.
Have a blessed New Year Friend! :)
My Dear Friend Jenni,
