Happy New Year! (a balmy 29 degrees in Mesa, AZ this morning… brrrr)
What mercy we have that every 52 weeks we get to recount all the blessings and mercies we have received over this last year. And this is one forgiven sinner who has drawn more from the springs of grace, mercy and providence of God than ever I could have ever imagined.
2010 started with just a touch of trepidation – having scant experience with actual kidney transplants – and ended with the joy of welcoming our first grandchild into this world. And in between we experienced the comfort of a thousand friends and family that prayed for us and cared for us, the happiness of celebrating our 30th anniversary, and the triumph of ending the year with considerably better health than that which I started. And sprinkled throughout many more blessings than I could count.
2011 looms large before us… hmm… what wonders has the Almighty in store for us in this new year?
“Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods?
Who is like you, majestic in holiness,
awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?

I give thanks and praise every day for the good health the Lord has given you and Nancy to enjoy. May your years be filled with more joy and love and hopefully, more grandchildren to enjoy! I just love great-grandchildren! Ella Grace is beautiful!
