LIFE I AM THE NEW YEAR

Life I am the new year.
I am an unspoiled page in your book of time.
I am your next chance at the art of living.
I am your opportunity to practice what you have learned about life during the last twelve months.
All that you sought and didn't find is hidden in me,
waiting for you to search it out with more determination.
All the good that you tried for and didn't achieve
is mine to grant when you have fewer conflicting desires.
All that you dreamed but didn't dare to do, all that you hoped but did not will,
all the faith that you claimed but did not have —
these slumber lightly, waiting to be awakened
by the touch of a strong purpose.
I am your opportunity
to renew your allegiance to Him who said, “behold, I make all things new.”
I am the new year.

THE CLOCK OF LIFE

What constitutes as life?

Do we count how much life we have lived by our age,
our accomplishments, our travels, our happiness,
and how much others have admired and loved us?

There is a saying to not count your life by years,
but by friends, but I don’t buy that either.
Life is more than a popularity contest.

So what is it?
I think true life is about fellowship with God
and with one another,
and this is what Jesus Christ offers.

This clock is about that fellowship,
and it is a reminder for me
to not count my life by hours,
days, or years...........
but by love.

I believe we all NEED a new year and pray it goes much better for everyone than the one we just left behind!

Thank you for that, my friend!
