So find joy in whatever your Lord gives you to do in this year ahead. Serve him without fear in holiness and righteousness before him all your days. Bring your service to him like a little child bringing her coloring page home from school. She gives it to Mom and Dad not because she thinks she’s

A friend sent me an email that teaches thankfulness to its recipients:
If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world.

LIFE IS A GIFT, NOT A RIGHT
Lord, help me remember that it is only by your power
and will that I am even alive;
and I can do nothing without you.
