Not really. We do wish you a happy New Year, but I won’t
make you wade through the old one with me.
However, if you really do want to see our year in review, consult the
2013 section of the blog.
We did make it through another year, though, and we hope you
did, too. We had some trials (aka life),
but we also had a year of many blessings in the form of jobs, a wedding,
graduation and more. The most
significant blessing of this year has been the reconnection of people who are
important to us.
We are all special
and unique pieces of the section of the puzzle God created us to work for Him
while we are on this earth. There are no
two pieces exactly alike, only one of each piece is needed, but if one piece is
missing there is a noticeable gap.
Personally, I am
overwhelmed by any puzzle of over 500 pieces and the only way I can do a puzzle
is by looking at the picture on the lid of the box. Only God knows how many pieces are in His
puzzle, but He has it all flawlessly planned out. He has
the Lid to the Box. Our job is to fit together the pieces He has already
given us, and will give us in the future.
In this age of instant communication over any
distance it’s amazing how our busy lives get in the way of staying connected
with special people in our lives. More
importantly, we need to stay connected to our Heavenly Father. We have always
had and always will have the technology for instant communication with
Him. The bottom line is that if our
lives are too busy for God and people, our lives are too busy. There is nothing in this world that is more important.
If you are reading this, you are important to
us, and we want to stay connected. We
have all been given a new year and a new chance to get our priorities in
order. We don’t get do-overs in life,
but we do get new beginnings. Although.
I did read that the 1986 calendar has the same days as 2014, so if that
was a particularly good year for you, I suppose you could dig out your old 1986 calendar and have another go at it. As for me and my house, we will serve the
Lord in 2014, and hope to see you there.
So, get out there, connect with your pieces (old and new) and
have a great 2014 (or 1986)!
