I pray you,
Praise the Lord…

As a new year starts many consider setting goals.
As I consider my goals, I can’t help but consider the One who is my ultimate goal… my aim always, but articulated and affirmed in my One Word 2018.
As we move forward into all God has for us in this new year, may we affirm and acknowledge Him, trusting His purposes and plans will always come to pass. May our will be in harmony with His.

This poem for you today fresh from my morning journal.
May it bless you today as we come close to the day we celebrate the birth of our Savior and Lord, Jesus. Emmanual – God’s desire has always been to be with us…
may our heart’s turn to Him!
Look up, consider the stars…Have a blessed and beautiful holiday- may you be truly free and able to celebrate in a spirit of love and grace. God with us.
I hope the poem helps you draw near.

Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
