Christmas has come and gone and a new year is about to start. It amazes me how every year seems to move a little faster than the last.
Christmas this year was a little rough. People who have been out of my life due to various reasons were in my heart this year. Friends who have moved, people who have passed on, etc, even though I have been without them for a few years, this year it weighed on me.
All in all though, we had a great Christmas, spent with family and some friends. God blessed me through a few different people in different ways....watching the kids, taking me to dinner, some unexpected monetary gifts.
It amazes me every time....God is so faithful. He has shown his faithfulness to me over and over again, even when I am not so good at being faithful to Him. The crazy thing is that I don't deserve his gifts, not one of them. Oh, sure there are things I could complain about not going right (and I do sometimes often), but He gave me everything when He sent his son to die on the cross for my sins so that I wouldn't have to spend eternity seperated from him. I deserve nothing....not even the forgiveness he offers. But, I am grateful for the grace and the mercy he extended and continues to extend.
I pray that as you enter this new year, that he will show himself to you in new ways and that you will become more aware of the grace he extends to you daily. I pray that you will be truly blessed.
Grace.
Ronnie
