2015

We have reached the end of another year. WOW! It went fast! I look back over the past year and think of all the things that I have accomplished (not much) and all the things I failed to accomplish (A LOT). But, the fact is that what's done is done and what is not is not. In a little more than sixteen hours, we will close 2015 and begin 2016.

I like the beginning of a new year. NO, I don't make New Year's resolutions. I think doing that can challenge some to strive to do better but, for me, it is just added pressure and more disappointment when I fail to accomplish it. Maybe I should stop making my New Year's resolution to be a millionaire, huh?

Well, with 2016 just a few hours away, my thought is for the prayer I have for my family and friends, and really for everyone, in this coming year. Today's word is Psalm 20:4, NIV, which reads, "May He (GOD) give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed."

My prayer for us all in this coming year is that we will give GOD our ALL because I know He will honor our efforts and provide our needs. What is done is done. We cannot go back and relive a single moment from this past year but we can push forward into 2016. And, as we push forward, let's set our hearts and minds on the things of GOD and strive to do His will. If we will do that, He will truly give us the desires of our hearts and make all our plans succeed.

I hope your 2015 was your best year ever. I pray that 2016 will be even more than you could ever think, dream, or imagine. And, with 2016 being a leap year, we have an extra day to live and enjoy this wonderful blessing of life. "May GOD grant you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed."

Be Blessed,
