Welcome to 2012! Some thoughts to kick off your new year!
 
I have just recently subscribed to daily emails written by Christian minister and well-known author Max Lucado. Here are a couple of recent ones. They are short; to the point. If you'd like to subscribe to receive future ones to your computer, let me know and I will get you the right information:
 

"Your word is like a lamp for my feet and a light for my path. "

~Psalm 119:105

"God isn’t going to let you see the distant scene. So you might as well quit looking for it. He promises a lamp unto our feet, not a crystal ball into the future. We do not need to know what will happen tomorrow. We only need to know He leads us and we will find grace to help us when we need it."

"Now we do not live following our sinful selves,
but we live following the Spirit."
~ Romans 8:4

"Perhaps your childhood memories bring more hurt than inspiration. The voices of your past cursed you, belittled you, ignored you. At the time, you thought such treatment was typical. Now you see it isn’t.

"Now you find yourself trying to explain your past. Do you rise above the past and make a difference? Or do you remain controlled by the past and make excuses?

"Think about this. Your parents may have given you genes, but God gives you grace. Your parents may be responsible for your body, but God has taken charge of your soul. You may get your looks from your mother, but you get eternity from your Father, your heavenly Father.  God will give you what your family could never give you!"
