Terri's Wellspring

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace¹ as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.  Romans 15:13

We have just a few more days before we turn the page and enter a new year. This will be a time of reflection as we think of all of things that were accomplished, the peaks that were celebrated and the valleys that we survived.  We may have had a to-do list for the year.  Some things that we can happily check off and then other items may have to go on next year’s list.  But in the closing days of this year, we may have a few loose ends that we can complete before we welcome the New Year.  We can be careful not to take the weight of unforgiveness and bitterness into the future.  We can nurture gratitude and thankfulness for the many blessings that surround our lives.  We can set the foundation of faith, hope and joy in our hearts and minds for the year to come.  We can open our hearts to God and His Son Jesus Christ to welcome Him fully into our lives.  The New Year is upon us.  Let us tie up any loose ends we may have in our hearts and prepare with great expectation for the year ahead.
