The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. (Proverbs 10:22)
It is indeed a blessing to have lived to see another year. December 30th was my son's birthday (he's 7 now), and New Year's eve, December 31, was mine. My child asked me what I wanted for my special day, and I told him to spend my day in the house of the Lord would be more than enough for me. I am still excited, inspired, and amazed by all that the Holy Spirit has to say to the Body of Christ at the dawn of a new year (and throughout the year too). Another year has been given to me and my household, and I shall forever be blessed.
So much is happening now, the former Iraqui president, Mr. Saddam Hussein, has been executed. James Brown, an American icon, has passed away, and reportedly, the 3,000th American casualty in the war in Iraq, a young man from Texas was killed. Despite all the confusion, sadness, and disharmony in the world, I remain hopeful, as my hope is in Jesus Christ. God is sovereign and nothing happens without His foreknowledge. My God is just, righteous, and merciful. All praises be to the Omniscient One; I know there is a plan and purpose in everything that God allows to happen.
May the blessings of the Lord be upon you and your household as you continue to serve and obey Him! He has so much in store for you, your family, this nation, and the world. The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand, and it is in you. May the righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost that the kingdom brings be yours now and forever.
Ms. Phyllis
