His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, 2 Peter 1:3 ESV
I love reading the Peanuts cartoons. Recently I read one where Lucy was talking to
Charlie Brown and she says, “I hate this year! Everyone said things would be better, but they’re not! I don’t think this is a New Year at all. I think we’ve been stuck with a Used
Year!”
Yes, at times it seems
like it hasn’t gotten better, sometimes it feels worse. It feels like we are stuck in a turn around
and we just keep going in circles. But
maybe it’s us, not the year, that is stuck. Maybe we need to stop looking at what is wrong with the year and start
looking at what is good about the year.
I have written about it many times but we really do need to
start counting our blessings, each and every one of them. First one we need to count is that we wake
up each morning. Maybe it is cloudy or
raining or even snowing but we WOKE up!
Then count the blessings of a warm house, food on the table, clothes and
the family that surrounds us. Doesn’t
have to be immediate family or even blood-related family. The family is those individuals who are there
for you and care about you.
Be thankful that God sent us only Son who lived, died and
rose again for us; so that we may be saved from our sins and be granted a
future with our Father in Heaven.
