I thought this statement so profound, when I first heard it. Will 2011 be a new year or just another year? I had not given much thought to the new year. I knew it was around the corner, and I was excited that the Lord had granted me the opportunity to see another year, but I had not given any thought to what I would do differently. As my Sunday school teacher said you do not have to do anything at all, you do not have to change anything in order to have just another year. That was an "Ahaa! moment. So I decided to reflect upon the past year. The Lord had been good to me in 2010. The family was healthy, the girls seem to be well adjusted. Upon further reflection, I have to admit that the Lord also did some changes in my spiritual life. I learned to care more for and about people than 2009, that for me was the biggest change, and I look forward to embracing that change even more in 2011.
