Goodness, it is great to get past 2010 – I hope that 2011 will be better, though I’m fearful that it will be even worse than 2010. But regardless of how it comes out, we are given by God what we need to have…and if it is time for us to suffer a bit, then it is just for our good that we do so.
I do hope that all had a joyful holiday season and my wish is for peace and love for everyone in this coming year.
Brothers and sisters:
When the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son,
born of a woman, born under the law,
to ransom those under the law,
so that we might receive adoption as sons.
As proof that you are sons,
God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts,
crying out, “Abba, Father!”
So you are no longer a slave but a son,
and if a son then also an heir, through God. – Galatians 4:4-7
(Never suspected the song was that long!)
