A SEASON OF BOUNTIFUL BLESSINGS


IN HIS GLORY by Del Parson
As I ponder on this past year, I can say that through the tender mercies of the Lord I can handle hard things.  With Him  before me I can face challenges with a strength I don't possess on my own.  Through His love I can smile when tears threaten.  In any looming darkness, I feel His warmth on my face and His arms around me.

In my lack I find bounteous blessings.  I understand the trials that beset me are teaching me humility.   The service opportunities  that present themselves to me make me more loving and compassionate.   The hurts that fall upon me teach me forgiveness.  Not knowing what comes tomorrow has increased my faith and my faith has given me greater hope. 

I am filled with JOY at knowing I have a loving Father in Heaven and His Son that know my heart and bless & comfort me.

I am grateful for my precious family ( both here & there), my increased health, my testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and the angels that constantly keep watch over me. 

I cherish the lessons learned and blessings showered on me in 2011 and hope that I can keep my countenance reflecting the joy that I feel and share that joy with all those I am around in 2012! 

With much love to you for being in my life, my wish for you is to have a

HAPPY JOYOUS & BLESSED NEW YEAR!
