A new year crept in last night… around 11:59 to be exact. Before I could gather all my thoughts, it was simply here and the clock without reverence kept right on ticking. It was as if it were no big deal. But it was huge. It was momentous:
- My family was fed and cared for another 365 days. That’s always miraculous -not only the provision, but the actuality of it!
- Our precious son is 642 days sober. We celebrated with the whole Insight group.
- David is cancer free 3 years and we celebrated 25 years of marriage New Year’s Eve!
- My parents made it another 12 months in pretty stable health.
- God has seen us through numerous struggles and stresses, always bringing glory to His name as each concern is worked out.
- We’ve learned to love each other and laugh everyday.
I feel very spoiled, especially in the fact that God never gives up on me. He is lavish in His mercy, patient in His timing. Are we really worth all this effort? He must see potential that I can’t. How thankful I am.
LORD, Thank You for milestones that show us how far we’ve come. What a ride it’s been! We look forward to a great new year.
ForGlorysake! –Anna
