It's almost been a Year...

"Sing on, dear child.  I hear you and I am coming to deliver you.  I will carry that load for you.  So just lean hard on Me, and the road will get smoother by and by."

Live differently...

       (...coaxed by life -changes, -circumstances, -lessons, -heartache, -joy, --all of it!)

"Examples basically come down to generosity, honesty, and being content rather than complaining."

Newness

Trying to get outside myself and my expectations (from God Calling which I think I posted last new year!):

Bury every fear of the future, 

of poverty for those dear to you, of suffering, of loss.  

Bury all thought of unkindness and bitterness, 

all your dislikes, your resentments, your sense of failure, 

your disappointment in others and in yourselves, 

your gloom, your despondency, 

and let us leave them all, buried, 

and go forward... 


to a new, refreshed, renewed day - year - life...


Then aiming to my attention and energy towards others (also from God Calling):

How many burdens can you lighten this year? 

How many hearts can you cheer?

How many souls can you help?


To give is to gain.

I've got to change my subtitle and web address for this blog or get some of Jason's cooking on here again!  Digression!  Woo!

A small note

Search your heart several times a day, and if you find something that is disturbing your peace, remember to take the proper steps to restore the calm.  ~ Francis de Sales
