Christmas '09

It's that time of the year again, when I reflect on the true meaning of Christmas,  ponder all that God as done during the year, and look forward to what He will be doing the coming year.  

I am so grateful that Christ came to die for my sins and restore my relationship with HIM.  I am thankful for the gift of salvation and of eternal life.   What a privilege it is to KNOW HIM!

As I look back on the year, there was nothing extraordinarily new.   I am grateful for all that God is continuing to do in my Church and in my Adult Fellowship class.  If I were to point to what stood out the most this past year, it would be how God is making me more aware of World Vision.  It was good to be able to read the book, to give, and to be able to volunteer for the organization.

I do look forward to what God has in store for me the coming year.... maybe more involvement with World Vision, maybe another service/ministry, etc.   I just know that I will focus on the theme of "Beauty from Ashes", inspired by SCC and all that he has gone through this past year.

May God's will be done!  Amen!
