Joy in the journey!




There are no coincidences in this life. As we move through each day and truly pay attention to the details of our circumstances, we begin to discern lessons meant for us to learn – at times by the most unlikely individuals. Sometimes we are the teacher, sometimes the student – but we are ever gaining, gleaning, gathering and giving. Times of trouble also serve to stretch us, teaching us about ourselves and others; growing us up into full maturity where experience and knowledge beget wisdom.

No matter what kind of year 2012 has been, we are blessed to be here at the threshold of a new year. Let us be thankful for everything, great and small, that took place in our lives this year. If we reflect on the various situations, conversations, confrontations and celebrations, there should be a sense of gratitude for the experiences.

2013 is a clean slate, only God knows what lies ahead.  As we ask Him to order our steps in His Word, may our hearts and eyes be open to new opportunities to bless; and we need not fret about the “destination”. For come what may or will - there is joy in the journey! 

May the Lord bless you and yours in the New Year!
