I'm reminded that we continually need to make decisions about what we allow into our lives, with the culture and media now upholding less and less of God's moral standards. I'm disappointed that even a traditionally family event like the Rose Parade has decided to allow something that the majority of the country has shown by their votes that they do not agree to or support. It is all around us and we are faced with it daily; so, we need to work harder to walk in His Ways in a culture that often promotes the contrary.
Last night, I celebrated New Year's Eve with some friends who invited friends who all brought their kids. It's been awhile since I've been around so many kids; but, it was interesting. It was a good time of fellowship. Today, I will be spending some time with another friend of mine who will be bringing her kids. I wonder what it says that I'm starting of my new year atypically surrounded by kids.... For both, I put together a fruit plate on a tray, mainly grapes and blackberries; and then cut some pineapple slices (chunks would've worked as well), and also cut some oranges (I cut them in bite-sized chunks after cutting off the skins; but, maybe slices would've worked as well also)
I place this new year into God's Hands. May He be glorified. Amen!
