A New Year

Happy (late) New Year everyone! I miss Christmas, but I'm glad for the new year!

I just wanted to add a reminder to this new year, let's remember to pray for others. I am already hearing about sad things that others are going through. I know a lot of us have new year's resolutions, including myself, but why don't we try to maybe make one of our resolutions to pray more. There are so many who are going through hard times -outwardly and inwardly. Things may be going on in a friend's life that we don't even know about. But there are also other adults, teens, children, and even babies all around the world who need our prayers. Its good to remember to pray for people -unfortunately I don't always remember all the things I need to pray for. Life can get so busy that we just forget. I feel like I forget a lot.

Also, its good to remember to thank God for all his many blessings. Do you like bright, sunny days with a soft breeze or cloudy, rainy days that make you feel extra cozy at home? Do you feel good after you've passed a science or math test? Do you enjoy relaxing sleep or reading a good book? What about the special time you have with your family and friends? Are you thankful that you live in a country where you (most likely) don't have to worry about getting arrested or put to death for going to church or reading the Bible? Then let's thank God for those things or any other things that you're thankful for! -Believe me, while I write this its a reminder for me also. I don't thank the Lord enough and I should express my thankfulness to him more!

Let's remember to pray for others and be thankful unto the Lord! Have a great day! :)
