We are now officially approaching the final stretch of 2010.
This year certainly had its share of troubles and challenges but there were some victories, too.
For my troubled mind, He sent peace. For my broken heart, He sent comfort. For my secret sorrows, He sent joy! For my pride, He sent afflictions. For my devotion, He sent trials. For my desire for Truth, He sent teachers. For my sins, He sent forgiveness. For every need, both seen and unseen, each morning, I saw a fresh provision of mercy.
Hasn’t He been faithful to you, too?
While none of us can know what this new year will bring, this much we can say: just as His mercies were new every morning in 2010, so will they be in 2011.
He has never failed, and He never will!
Wishing you and your family a beautiful and blessed 2011!
The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul,
“therefore I will hope in him.”
Lamentations 3:22-24

Diana Lovegrove says
Beautiful, Amen! What a faithful God we serve! And what a wonderful privilege to be part of His body and to know we don’t walk alone, and can be encouraged and edified by sisters who maybe live across an Ocean but serve the same God and enjoy His mercies the same 🙂
May God bless you and your family in 2011.

Such truth, dear Christina! How wonderful it is to learn to praise Him in all things and see His goodness and mercy in every trial. Praising God with you and looking forward to this brand new year to reflect more and more the image of our Savior.

Christina I echo what everyone wrote above, one of the best blessings of the past year was fellowship with you. You have been a great friend and wonderful source of love and encouragement, and great recipes! LOL I love you and I pray that 2011 is rich with God’s blessings for you. No matter what any of us have gone through this past year, our God has been so gracious and merciful to us all, and has brought such wonderful gifts of fellowship and encouragement….no matter what part of this big blue ball we live on. Love and Happy New year to you!
