As we begin a fresh year, I encourage us all to rejoice in the fact that God is continuously working newness into our lives. Don’t let recent disappointments and failures define you or dampen your expectations. This is the time to make a fresh start. Today is a precious gift that was carefully prepared for each of us with tender attention to every unique and special detail. As it is written, “…search for signs of My loving Presence as you journey along the path of Life. Look for the little pleasures I have strewn alongside your pathway – sometimes in surprising places – and thank Me for each one…”
