For Auld Lang Syne

1. Marriage is hard work, with some of the best return. My cup overflows with the chances that this past year has brought to do ministry alongside my soulmate; for ministry is THE hardest work with THE best return.

2. There is pleasure to be found in your job. I did not believe this to be true at all, until August. What a joy to wake up with hope instead of despair.

3. Parenthood is a mandate from scriptures, and thus from God, however, I am terrified, truly truly terrified of being one. In the meantime, I have two gorgeous, healthy nephews who bring light to my life.

4. Life is sweet and fleeting. The Word of God is true and everlasting. The salvation of God is costly and free.  The hope of eternity is real and relieving. 

5. I have been given family and that is  precious gift. 

We'll take a cup of kindness yet…
