2010

Last night at dinner we were talking about what was good about 2009. As you can imagine for our kids many of the things that were good were fun things we had done during the year or something special they had received. It was fun to look back at the year with them. I am so very thankful for another year where we saw the Lord's faithfulness, good health, our kids growing and learning. There are so many things to be thankful for in 2009.

Most years we take some time in January to sit down and make some goals for our family for the coming year. Along with those goals we set a family verse for the year. It is wonderful to see how the Lord has used those scriptures in our year and how we can look to them in specific situations as we go through the days.

We don't know what the Lord has in store for any of us in the coming year but we are looking forward to watching the Lord work.

Our family verse for 2010 is:

Mark 12:29-31

"The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."

So ready or not it's here! Happy New Year!
