Happy New Year!

Can you believe?  2014!  Were you one of those who did not think it possible?  Remember when we were turning 2000?  And all the hoopla?  And here we are 14 years later!  God is great, indeed!

Here in Milwaukee we had just a beautiful light snow almost all day....fluffy beauty!  And best of all, it was not cccoolllddd!

So have you thought of new year's resolutions?  Beware of the new year's enthusiasm!  It happens that in a week we don't even remember the MANY resolutions!!!!

Perhaps this prayer will be an inspiration. 

God of this new year, we are walking into mystery.  We face the future, not knowing what the days and months will bring to us or how we will respond.  Be love in us as we journey.  May we welcome all who come our way.  Deepen our faith to see all of life through your eyes. Fill us with hope and an abiding trust that you dwell in us amidst all our joys and sorrows.  Thank you for the treasure of our faith life.  Thank you for the gift of being able to rise each day with the assurance of your walking through the day with us.  God of the new year, we praise you. Amen.

I wish you and pray that 2014 will be the most blessed year so far.

Happy New Year!
