A Song of Ascents
So our eyes look to the Lord our God, until He is gracious to us. Psalm 123: 2 NASB
A new year gifts us with fresh eyes, hope for new beginnings, the comfort of enduring friendships, and the expectancy of our unfolding story. What will the new year bring? In a world that often seems cold and unforgiving, we lift our gaze to the Lord UNTIL He is gracious to us. He will return. He has given us His promise!
I’ve been asked to share recipes through the years of our family’s favorite dishes and desserts. Friends often tease that I leave out key ingredients. And I have been known to do just that! Lasagna requires noodles and Carrot Cake shouldn’t be missing it’s main ingredient. However, like painting, cooking is fun and creative. I add a little of this or that, often sweet and sour, and no recipe is ever the same. I plan to blog some of our family recipes this year. These blogs will be called “Bread and Beauty.”
For starters, I came across an old journal entry, “5 phrases to remember in the new year.” I have no idea who wrote it. But I thought I’d share. I added three of my own.
5. I am proud of you.
4. May I help you?
3. I love you!
2. Thank you.
1. We.
…and I add
I am sorry.
Please forgive me.
Seek Christ-mas every day.
Happy New Year!
