Happy New Year



..THOUGHT FOR THE DAY….

WELCOME TO THE YEAR 2018 AND; THIS IS THE DAY
THE LORD HAS MADE; WE WILL REJOICE AND BE
GLAD IN IT.
(PSALM 118:24 *NKJV)

What do you think this day, or any day means to our
Heavenly Father?  For the answer to that let us turn to the
Bible where it is written; BUT, BELOVED, DO NOT FORGET
THIS ONE THING, THAT WITH THE LORD ONE DAY IS
AS A THOUSAND YEARS, AND A THOUSAND YEARS AS
ONE DAY.  (2 PETER 3:8) 
It is also written; FOR A THOUSAND
YEARS IN YOUR SIGHT ARE LIKE YESTERDAY WHEN IT
IS PAST, AND LIKE A WATCH IN THE NIGHT.
(PSALMS 90:4)
  You see even though a thousand
years is a very long, long time to us, it isn’t when compared
to God’s Eternal Existence.

Now when we think about it, we actually live one moment
at a time, not a day at a time, do we not?  For none of us
carry a guarantee of the future, even if that future is only
an hour or two away.  So try to do your best in the moments
that you have each day, remembering that a lot can be
accomplished in only a moment.  Therefore cherish each
day that God has given to you, and try to be the best person
that you can be each hour of every day.  Amen.

Now I would like to share the following poem with you,
and to wish you a Wonderful New Year filled with God’s Love,
Hope and Faith.  May God Richly Bless You Indeed in 2018.

Each Day

A new year just beginning,
Each day a fresh, new start,
To fulfill your hopes
And pursue the dreams
Sustained within your heart.

Put God in charge;
He’ll plant the seeds
Of affection, love and care.
Like a garden, your life will grow
With kindness flowering there.

And as you face the wonder
Of each day’s mysteries,
You’ll see God’s hand
Unfolding, daily, possibilities!

And as each day comes to a close,
Dream a dream or two,
Then with a prayer thank dear God
For each day given to you.
