Happy New Year
posted by
We rejoice over the work of the Lord in 2009. It was a year full of changes for our country. A year full of Providential encounters. A year full of opportunities to recognize that God is still Sovereign over the affairs of men. As one dear uncle put it, He is not up there wringing His hands over what is taking place on the earth.
The year 2010 comes with an abundance of anticipation, wonder, and excitement. As God’s children, we have been entrusted with the Truth, life changing principles, and inspiring testimonies for to share. We are living stones of remembrance that should spark questions and wonder from the world around us so that many may be drawn to Christ.
With the advent of a new year, many are filled with aspirations for improvement and change. Goals are good, but what will be the steps of action unto the completion of the goals. How do these goals line up with the Word of God, the family vision, and God’s specific call upon your life?
Over this next week, we are looking forward to, as a family, reviewing the goals of last year and setting the sights for 2010. Last year, we found this time to be of great benefit and would encourage every family to spend at least an evening or two planning out definitive goals with as much specific steps of action as you can. It takes time and effort but the rewards are well worth the investment.
Here are two earlier posts that help provide some direction on family goal making:
Show me a way to get more things done.
as well, a list of questions for you to review the year with as your finish up your 2009 journals.
May the Lord draw your family closer together this year. May He strengthen your relationships one with another. For as families draw close together around Jesus Christ the church is unified and the world glorifies God.
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another (John 13:34-35).
May each of our families be tools in the Master’s hands unto the proclamation of His name unto the world!
Happy New Year
Amen!
