A Year in Review
-December 31, 2009-Comments (1)
On the verge of 2010, it seems appropriate to reminisce about 2009. I am so thankful for my family. There were great times we spent together: vacation, holidays, weekends, and times doing nothing at all! These are the things that memories are made of and will be lasting impressions of 2009. However, without hesitation, I can say there were difficult times too: sickness, loss, and the busyness of life often seemed overwhelming. There were shocking moments too, such as when Jonathan had his bout with seizures and the van was broken into and robbed. Moments like these leave us feeling uncertain and questioning, and that is part of the reality of life.
But, above all, I can sit here today and proclaim God's faithfulness and love through it all. For that I am thankful and have hope, not only for 2010, but for eternity as well!
May you and your family have a joyous celebration together saying goodbye to 2009, and may God bless you in 2010!

Thank you for this post. It is good to be reminded as we reflect back on the previous year that it was full of both good and bad experiences. But even more important it is good to be reminded that God gave us the strength to get through the rough times and He also allowed us to experience the good memories with our friends and families. It is so easy to just focus on the good or the bad of 2009, thank you for reminding us why it is important to remember both, and focus on God as we journey into 2010.
