"Another Year!"

It is hard to believe that another year has come and gone! It is equally hard to believe that 2009 is here, since I remember vividly when 2000 started and all the hoopla over Y2K. As with the start of any new year, 2009 brings with it a lot of anticipation and possibilities. Another new year also brings with it what it means to have Jesus Christ in one's life.

The new year is a new start...the old has been wiped away and we have a new start. The same is true when we accept Jesus Christ in our lives. When you accept Jesus Christ with all you heart, mind and soul everything before that time is wiped clean and you have a new beginning.
Even though we remember what we have done in the past after we have accepted Jesus Christ...Christ has no record of what it is we remember doing.

A new year also brings, for some people, a list of resolutions. Resolutions are okay as long as you don't beat yourself up when you are unable to keep one. Remember they are just goals to try and improve yourself, but as it goes with some other type of goals you can not make them all.

One resolution you can make for 2009 and succeed at it, is to accept Jesus Christ and live your life to honor and praise Him. My prayer for you is that 2009 is a joyous and blessed one for you!
