As I write this, the new year is about six hours old where we live outside of Denver, Colorado. Debbie and I went to church yesterday, we did some writing and journaling, we cleaned out some old folders and started some new, we watched some football and a Hallmark movie (all while doing other things as well), we went for a walk on a windy, brisk afternoon; we had a few phone conversations with friends and loved ones. It was a pretty normal Sunday for us. Not much was new!
This morning, on the first day of this new year, I am thinking about the verse quoted above. I remember the day in the summer of 1967 when I got on my knees and asked Jesus to come into my life and take it over- I promised to follow Him and serve Him for the rest of my life. He delivered on His promise, and from that day until now- my life has been made new! Thank You Jesus!!
I pray for you this morning! I pray for the Family of Jesus scattered around the world. I pray for the future of our planet and the certainty of the "End of the Age" that is somewhere out there in front of us. I pray for strength and wisdom and discernment for all of us who follow Jesus!
I am grateful for you and your partnership in this journey and the simple work that Jesus has called us to. Thank you for walking with us and allowing us to walk with you.
With love and appreciation,
Stan
