Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

I hope you had a blessed Christmas and are enjoying the new year.  It's a time of year when we must celebrate what we have.  We must relish the time that we have with those around us and when we must remember those who have drifted out of our lives.  Time off and away from the stressors of daily life affords us the opportunity to enjoy time with our friends and family.  This makes it an extra special time of year.  We can sit back and savor God's love all around us.  I was able to spend time with family and friends during this wonderful season, but I was also able to go off and enjoy some time on my own.  I was able to go out and explore a some river trails in a nearby city.  Just to be able to be quiet and simply "BE" was a great gift.  Many great things have happened over the past year and I know that a great many more await us in the year ahead.  God bless and have a good one!
