Happy New Year / Our Year in Review





    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)!

Jesus, Friend of Sinners by Casting Crowns

Jesus, friend of sinners, we have strayed so far away
We cut down people in your name but the sword was never ours to swing
Jesus, friend of sinners, the truth's become so hard to see
The world is on their way to You but they're tripping over me
Always looking around but never looking up I'm so double minded
A plank eyed saint with dirty hands and a heart divided

Oh Jesus, friend of sinners
Open our eyes to the world at the end of our pointing fingers
Let our hearts be led by mercy
Help us reach with open hearts and open doors
Oh Jesus, friend of sinners, break our hearts for what breaks yours http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9Kcm2OAWNA
