Here we go...

The first day of 2014, and off we go!

You already know that my copper coal scuttle on the island holds something different depending on the season or my mood...

These green balls are fresh and new, just like this year ahead. What will these days hold? 

I am so optimistic and sensing both new adventures and no doubt new challenges. Is that what you are feeling?

The one certainty, as always... "Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday (2013) today, (January 1, 2014) and forever."

Whatever this year holds, He is enough, for all of it.

So here we go... welcome 2014!

I love your copper kettle!

I appreciate your *up* attitude today! There are many issues *on my plate* right now, and they are weighing pretty heavy on my heart. But, as you said, JESUS remains the same!

Happy New Year, and GOD BLESS!

You are always so refreshing and real.

Oh Amen to that! No matter what the circumstances or situations and times may take us, Jesus remains our constant and ever ending portion. HAPPY NEW YEAR to you Sonja, and I am right behind you on the train expecting good things! HUGS

I'm much more optimistic on the front edge of this year than I was at this same time last year. It's been a good day of reflecting and hoping before the Lord. Happy New Year, friend.

Debbie said...

Happy New Year to you too! I am looking with anticipation at the new year to see what God has in store for all of us.

I love those green thingies, btw. What are they? I've never seen anything like them before.

In the midst of a world of change.
You have hit the only anchor we truly have.
Thanks.

Your copper island container looks good with the green. It is a new year, a fresh start, another beginning, but like you, I am thanking my God that He never, ever changes. That He goes ahead of us and comes up behind us, and at the same time, I remain in the palm of His hands...what comfort and what peace this brings to my sometimes troubled heart. What amazing grace and peace it offers us.

You and your blog offer a dose of inspiration and joy to me with every visit. I think of it all as a gift from God to brighten my life journey. Thank you!

Happy New Year, Sonja! Your copper coal scuttle is so pretty...the green adds a nice touch!

I haven't been blogging for a long time. But, today I posted about my anchor verse and word for 2014. While there, I decided to stop by for a visit. I'm so glad I did! :-)

I enjoyed catching up - 'specially enjoyed that forever young post...

I'm sure that optimism is one of the secrets to youthful living and am inspired by YOURS.

Happy - and belated - New Year, Sonja!
