As we ring in the New Year, I hope you will take a few minutes to think about whatever blessings you may have, especially the people God has placed in your life. Take some time tomorrow to tell the people who mean so much to you that you love and appreciate them. If there is someone you need to forgive, do it, and let them know that you forgive them. Don't let another day, week, month, or year go by without taking this step. This is the perfect time to let go of past hurts and forgive.
Time passes by so quickly. The Bible says our lives are like a shadow (1 Chronicles 29:15) or as James 4:14 states, "What is your life? For yo are a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes." Make every day count with the people who matter most, your family. And live on the basis of grace, God's grace. Jay Adams wrote a book entitled Christian Living in the Home. In it he talks about the challenges of marriage and family, and how far it is from an ideal place where peace and harmony are always found. Instead, he says that there is one thing you can say about the Christian home and it is this, "Sinners live there."
I wish you and the people who matter to you a blessed New Year based on the love and grace of God, who loves us with an everlasting love.
Blessings,
Dr. Paul
