A
brand new
year…a frightening reminder of our mortality and what lies ahead. Or maybe it'll be another
chance to get it right this
year. For each of us, getting it right
will have a different connotation. For some, it could be to lose those last twenty pounds or to find a better paying job or maybe to forge a better relationship
with loved ones. For me, a Christian who’s tried all of those with varying levels of success, my goal for the coming
year is to forge a closer relationship with God. Finally, at my ripe old age, I've realized I can do nothing without His help. I’ve tried using my wit, intellect, and abundant
charm to achieve my dreams. But each one of those failed me. Only if I start each
day in communication with God, then listen to what He says will I succeed. We’re all so busy and maybe that’s how life is
supposed to be. But when I go to sleep each night I should give thanks I’m not on a path to
oblivion. I am His child and He has a plan for me. But I sure wish I’d learned this
as a younger woman. Happy New Year and God bless you in 2022. Mary Ellis, Suspense
