Always

"Rejoice in the Lord always;
again I will say, rejoice!"
                           (Philippians 4:4)

No matter what the days of 2012 hold for us,
whether delight or devastation,
we can rejoice.
Always.

We can rejoice each day
because God is good
and God loves us
and His mercies are new every morning
and because
God is with us!
Every day.
Always.

Thank You, Lord, for:
1801.  a brand new year
1802.  realizing I have recorded this many gifts from the Lord
1803.  a children's sermon question that gave me a way to say what I needed to say
1804.  fear subsiding
1805.  Ann's encouragement for resolutions
1806.  worshiping with Christa and Nicole early on the first morning of the new year
1807.  remembering In the Image of the Maker
1808.  Blessings and Laura Story's smile that kept coming as she sang
1809.  walking into the new year with Little Darlin'
1810.  a new Upper Room and the stillness of the sanctuary

Rejoicing,
Sally
