Daily Devotionals
Chip Shots from the Ruff of Life
It's almost that time again. The same time that rolls around this time of the year every year. It's alomst time to say good-bye to this year. Yep, sure nuff, it's New Year's Eve.
Time to say good-bye to all the mistakes of 2004 and hello to all the opportunities in 2005...to make the same mistakes.
Time to say good-bye to all the problems of 2004 and say hello to all the new problems waiting in 2005.
But...
It's also time to say good-bye to the old friends we may have lost in 2004 and hello to those whose lives we may bless in 2005.
Time to say good-bye to all the times God led us in 2004 and hello to the myriad of times He will lead us in 2005.
Time to say good-bye to all the prayers and answered prayers of 2004 and hello to all those of 2005.
Time to say good-bye to all the missed evangelism opportunities of 2004 and hello to new ones in 2005.
Time to say good-bye to a year of not having personal devotions in 2004 and hello to a year with devotions daily in 2005.
I do hope that the New Year is a blessing straight from heaven for each of you and that God opens doors you never imagined before. This year I said good-bye to my sister Peg Siler. Next year I say hello to what may be new opportunities for sharing with my nephews. This could be the first year in a long time that my nephews actually get to come and see me. New Year. New Hope. New Blessings. Same God. Hallelujah!!!
