Happy New Year!

This year - since I have so many online friends who I have never met - I though I would share my annual Christmas poem here (the satirical version is in a previous post :o)

*************************************

What can I say at the end of the year?
Just this my friends, please do not fear.

Though things in our country and world might seem strained
God does not sleep and will not be contained.

Don’t tremble, don’t fret, God is NOT done yet
He’s working a plan - for all time it’s been set.

Be faithful and listen for His still quiet voice
and treasure small moments that make you rejoice.

Wherever your family, no matter how small
take time to love them, take time to call.

God came long ago in the form of a child
Whose Spirit was fierce though his manner was mild.

He’ll come once again when the time is just right
And the WORLD will drop to its knees at the sight.

We who remain will then join the KING
and with the angels we’ll finally sing -

“GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST -
JESUS IS THE KING OF KINGS and LORD OF LORDS!
PEACE ON EARTH, GOOD WILL TO MEN"

**********************************************

A bright new year to you all! Remember all times are in God's hands - but we are His emissaries and workmen.
