Mostly gratitude actually, my thoughts are mostly thankful, but
once in awhile I see something I want and something inside me says, “that
should be me” or “that should be mine” or “why can’t I.”
Yet when ever these thoughts come I have found I have the strength
to speak back, “That could be me, but why does it matter? I am content with
what I have.” I have been given the grace to discern what truly matters, possess
what is truly lasting, and to live in unity with my beloved family, and brother
and sisters in Christ.
My prayer for the coming year is that I will be able to
serve others with greater unselfishness. That my capacity to give and receive love
will grow. And that God will both help me see the meaning and purpose in what I
do every day; as well expand my opportunities to experience his purpose by
doing his will in big or small ways.
In the end what you do is not as important and the sprit in
which it was done. At the same time I know in the coming year there has been
planned in advance good works to be done, times at which I feel truly at one
with my God, feel completely in love, experience loss (with its corresponding amount
of grace), and a least a few moments of laughter to make sure I don’t take
myself to seriously.
And I am looking forward to living it with all of you…
