Blessed New Year!

As we close out this year it is good to look back and see just what the Lord has brought us through. We all have had some bad things happen and some really good things. Our attitude toward the bad and good things should be identical according to God's word. I Thessalonians 5:18 says, "In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." Are we able to give thanks in the midst of all things? Are we looking forward to the new that God will be bringing into our lives in 2011? Perhaps we have not completely worked through 2010. It is important that we forgive and move on with the Lord while forgetting those things that are behind and pressing forward to what God has ahead. As we do God's will we will have a blessed New Year!
