Good Morning,
Nothing like a hot cup of Door County Jingle Bell Java to warm a body up and set it on the the path of being productive.
Later tonight we will all be saying goodbye to the year 2022 and to say the least it has been a year of many hurdles, blessings and at times confusion for this family. We attended the weddings for two of our nephews in July as they married their true loves. My wife and her family nursed their mother back to health , when there was a time that it did not look good. One other nephew got engaged last year on New Years Day. So we have another wedding coming up. The date has yet to be determined. One of our niece in laws was tested to see if she carries the gene for Huntingtons Disease and the results were great. She is not a carrier. Our daughter built a home and beat the large increases on interest rates. These are part off the many blessings that God bestowed on us with in 2022.
I won't list the struggles we incurred in 2022 and those that will carry over into 2023. But there are some not so bright spots on the horizon. One could dwell on the bad stuff and throw a pity party, but that would do no one a bit of good.
Joshua 24:15 But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve., whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.
So as the oldest in this family, if I had all the clan together right now I would say this. Buckle up for the ride. God is with us through the blessings and the times of dark shadows. He is to be our Light, Guide, and the focus of our love. We will laugh, love, live and cry together in this year and give God the glory in all.
So as we say goodbye to 2022 and welcome 2023 God is still on His throne and we will look to Him to navigate the good and the bad of this new year.
Marty
