Like everyone else I know, these next two days bring me thoughts of where I've been and where I am heading. While I don't often write New Year's resolutions, I do like to reflect on the past year and make somewhat of an effort to chart a course through next year.
I turned on my radio this morning and heard a song by Kieth and Kristyn Getty (two of my favorite song writers) .
" Jesus draw me ever nearer
as I labor through the storm
You have called me to this passage,
and I'll follow, though I'm worn.
May this journey bring a blessing
May I rise on wings of faith
and at the end of my heart's testing,
with your likeness let me wake."
There's more if you want to look it up, but I was just contemplating if I have been a blessing to anyone else on this journey this past year and how I can be more of a blessing this coming year. It's so easy to get wrapped up in myself and my little world and forget about the big world outside my cozy brick walls. And now that I have written this down, there will be knockings on my door or calls on the phone. I pray God gives me eyes to see the needs around me and the grace to respond as He would have me .
