The Best Things In Life

I read a great quote somewhere recently: "The best things in life are not things. I have been reminded once again during this Christmas season the profound truth of this simple statement. Family and friends, the renewed awareness of God's presence in my life, and the gift of God's grace and mercy make the things of this world look pale in comparison.

Robin and I were recently talking about how time seems to be moving so fast in our lives. It seems just yesterday that we were anticipating the arrival of a new millennium. And here it is already ten years later. But a new year brings with it new opportunities to make a difference in the world. There will be new opportunities to touch the lives of those around us and new opportunities to be touched by God grace and the love of his people!

I wish for all of you a very Happy New Year and I hope you renew your commitment to be all that God has called you to be in 2010.
