We are approaching the finish line.. the year is almost over. A good time to reflect on the experiences of this year..to remember all that we have lived through. A great time to give thanks.. remembering that God came through over and over for us. We can choose to see the difficulties or we can choose to see His hand catching us.. His arms protecting us..His voice reassuring us.
The world is a tough place and there are no signs that things are going to get easier. We have no control over our future..but we have a God that promises to lead us. Can you see around the next corner? I can’t. My future is unclear and uncertain..but I know God’s heart. He is up to something. Let’s finish well..anticipating..with excitement..the good things that God will be doing in the new year.
Do you have any loose ends? Is there someone you need to thank? A call you need to make? An encouraging word you need to give or maybe a hug? We can choose to approach the finish line with hope and grace for those around us. I want to finish this year with a grateful heart..overflowing with thankfulness to my God. What about you?
“Don’t worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God’s peace which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”

Thank you Alicia for this past year of committing to blogging. I have enjoyed your entries and many of them have touched me and at times, moved me to act.
I am certain that it has changed you for the better in many ways. Especially in your relationship with our Heavenly Father.
I believe this will be a year of new beginnings for the two of us in our individual walks with the Lord. I am reminded by your entry today that I need to thank someone.
That someone is you……………thank you for being my friend and sister in the Lord. You are a blessing precious one.
Much Love…………….Kerry
