How to Have a Happy New Year

1) REVISIT THE BEATITUDES
Matthew 5:3-12
Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn,
for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the gentle,
for they shall inherit the earth......

2) DON'T WORRY ABOUT MATERIAL THINGS
Matthew 6:19-20
Do not lay up for yourselves
treasures upon earth,
where moth and rust destroy,
and where thieves break in and steal,
but lay up for yourselves treasures in HEAVEN....

3) FOCUS ON THE FUTURE--NOT ON THE PAST
Philippians 3:13-14
...one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind
and reaching forward to what lies ahead,
I press onward toward the goal
for the prize of the upward call
of God in Christ Jesus.

4) CONSIDER OTHERS RATHER THAN OURSELVES
John 15:13
"Greater love has no one than this,
that one lay down his life for his friends."
Acts 20:35
....He Himself said, "It is more blessed
to give than to receive."

5) TAKE JOY IN THE LORD
Philippians 4:4
Rejoice in the Lord always;
again I will say, rejoice.

6) BEWARE OF THE ENEMY
Ephesians 6:10-12
...Be strong in the Lord
and in the strength of his might.
Put on the full armour of God,
that you may be able to stand
firm against the schemes of the devil.
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood,
but against the.....spiritual forces
of wickedness in the heavenly places.

7) DO EVERYTHING TO THE GLORY OF GOD
1 Corinthians 10:31
Whether then you eat or drink
or whatever you do,
DO ALL TO THE GLORY OF GOD!

~~~~~~HAPPY NEW YEAR~~~~~~~

GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!!

Very Nice Luv! great post

Happy New year to the Finest!

My outing was great and I do have some pix the quality of which of many is poor but will sort thru & post a few. I decided against the long black slinky dress & went with the short little back type ..

Actually I listened to my mom. I was dressed up & she said Dolly, in a few years you might NOT be able to wear short dresses (implication on ugly legs).. why don’t you put on a short dress.. so I did.. I did have quite a few compliments & at my age & stage that was nice.. It was a black short clingy Talbot’s dress(from my second hand store) and a raw silk jacket with some oriental prints..

I ended up wearing jewelry I had made about 15 years ago. Gold, Onyx, freshwater pearls & British Cloisonnes. I might try to take some pix for you . It is a pretty set (beaded necklace & earrings)

My batteries were shot too early in evening. I couldn’t believe when I saw the low battery light when I first turned on camera. I had a small bag so NOT extras with me so I was a bit stingy in what I took pix of. & I have ntoed with this camera the automatic functions are NOT sharp when batteries are low..

I was a BAD girl & took pix in Severance Hall (A BIG NO NO) but did not use flash & so was not detected.

Back & foot very sore but I did dance a bit

The Cleveland Pop’s concert was really REALLY outstanding. They had in a few “extra” entertainment things..

It is snowing here & we have mixed reports of how much accumulation we will get..
