Good morning! I am feeling a little sad with the start of 2021 and this is probably one of the best places to come for some warmth and kindness. I am so concerned for the next generations. God Bless America.

Uncharted Waters

Bible in a Year:

• Genesis 1–3
• Matthew 1

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.

 Isaiah 43:2

The ball drops in New York’s Times Square. The crowd counts down to Big Ben chiming. Sydney Harbor erupts in fireworks. However your city marks it, there’s something exciting about welcoming in a new year and the fresh start it brings. On New Year’s Day we push out into new waters. What friendships and opportunities might we find?

For all its excitement, though, a new year can be unsettling. None of us knows the future or what storms it may hold. Many New Year’s traditions reflect this: Fireworks were invented in China to supposedly ward off evil spirits and make a new season prosperous. And New Year’s resolutions date back to the Babylonians who made vows to appease their gods. Such acts were an attempt to make an unknown future secure.

When they weren’t making vows, the Babylonians were busy conquering people—including Israel. In time, God sent the enslaved Jews this message: “Do not fear . . . . When you pass through the waters, I will be with you” (Isaiah 43:1–2). Later, Jesus said something similar when He and the disciples were caught sailing in a violent storm. “Why are you so afraid?” He told them before commanding the waters to be still (Matthew 8:23–27).

Today we push out from the shore into new, uncharted waters. Whatever we face, He’s with us—and He has the power to calm the waves.

Reflect & Pray

What possibilities excite you as you look forward to a new year? What worries can you place in God’s hands?

God, thank You that whatever this new year brings, You will be with me in it.

Happy New Year, Mayor.

Thank you for opening the doors with Our Daily Bread every morning.

Have a great day.

[JustAmy]

These things I warmly wish for you -
Someone to love,
Some work to do,
A bit o'sun
A bit o'cheer
And a guardian angel
Always near.

Nice - Thank You!!

[JustAmy]

Happy New Year, Luv.

Thank you for bringing the wonderful music again this morning. I love it!

May the lilt of Irish laughter
Lighten every load,
May the mist of Irish magic
Shorten every road,
May you taste the sweetest pleasures
That fortune ere bestowed,
And may all your friends remember
All the favors you are owed!

Have a wonderful day.

[The Mayor]

Thank you for opening the doors to a new year Amy!

A woman had just returned to her home from an evening of church services, when she was startled by an intruder. She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled: ‘Stop! Acts 2:38!’
(Repent and be Baptized, in the name of Jesus Christ , so that your sins may be forgiven.)

The burglar stopped in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done.

As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar: ‘Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture to you.’

‘Scripture?’ replied the burglar. ‘She said she had an Ax and Two 38s!’

This year I resolved to not make any New Year’s Resolutions! :-)

[PGalt]

LOL Amy. Phil will be there.

[JustAmy]

I don’t usually make them but this year I resolved to spend more time at Amy’s Place.

I wonder if that one will last a week. LOL
