Happy New Year

If you think about it every day is the beginning of a New Year. Each are day's that need to begin and end with the Lord blessed with family and friends in between. It's important that we don't wait for the calendar to turn to decide to live our lives for Jesus instead of ourselves. Too often we think we have a certain number of years entitled to us to party and do whatever we want then we can accept Christ into our lives.

It doesn't work that way because we never know when our year or time will end. I know a few people that didn't make it through the year 2011. One was my precious grandma that I miss dearly, another was the husband of a co-worker. Neither had any say on when they were going to died but both had to be prepared to meet with Jesus on the other side.

No matter what happened "last year" we need to make a choice to work on improving what we can for this year. Filling our lives with Jesus, surrounding ourselves with family and friends, doing what will count for all eternity not for one calendar year.
