10 Certain Predictions for the New Year~ Roy Lessin

Hello everyone!  I trust each of you had a wonderful CHRISTmas and New Year holiday with your loved ones, whether friends or family!  Mine was....and I'm going to use a strange word..."numb".  I had no feeling behind the "holidays" this year, except I only knew that my Savior was born for me...to die for me.  (and you!) and truly enjoyed the gift of family this year.  We had a great CHRISTmas gathering with both my husband and my families!  It was such a blessing.  Inside though, or in the "background" there was this looming feeling of sadness...admist my own "issues" I'm working through (and I pray for those that should be, but aren't seeking help for their issues...that Jesus as your Counselor is an amazing experience)....(missing my Brandy girl...knowing that a good friend of mine is in a hospital that has no legs from the knees down, and is not doing well, spending the "holidays" in the hospital....knowing that my Pastors wife's mother had a heart attack and also had to spend the holidays in the hospital....) as I think of these tragedies in each others lives.  There are so many more not even mentioned or known.  There are people who have family members suffering of cancer and have no idea when the "time" will come.  So many people forced out of their homes, or lost their jobs recently.  Even as we have financial "issues" I guess you'd say ourselves (which seems to be a lot of people this time of year especially!)...as I think about it.... we are very blessed!  Not only do we have a roof over our head, and food to eat, and precious family and friends to be thankful for....we have the amazing gift of Jesus!!  The best news?  NOTHING can take that away!  So I read this devotion I got in an email and thought I'd share it to remind us that we truly do have at least (I'm sure there are more than is listed below....) certainties in the coming year and years ahead! 

I pray for you all to have a wonderful New Year and keep on goin' on!  That's all you can do sometimes!

Love, Aim
