so long, 2016

 GRATEFUL GIRL'S THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Here it is: New Year's Eve 2016. What does it me to you? A clean slate to start living healthier...work more...work less... give more? You can fill in your own blanks.

For so many, this is a year they're glad is ending. For others, it was one of great success or gladness. Because, even though news headlines may all seem dark and dismal, just remember; lots of good stuff happened this year. Babies were born; people beat cancer; accidents were averted; new jobs and homes were secured --- young couples the world over got married and pledged to start a life together.

The point is this: Every day on the third rock from the sun, there's little good and a little bad. Some days the balance weighs heavier in one direction than the other. But there's always hope for a better day. The Big Guy didn't send his only Kid down here for nothin', y'all. We're alright. Here's looking forward to a great 2017!

​Jn 1:14a, 12a R. Alleluia, alleluia. The Word of God became flesh and dwelt among us. To those who accepted him he gave power to become the children of God.   #newyear #inspiration #faith
