I don't know about anyone else, but when the end of year comes to an end, I start to think about everything that has happened in the last 12 months. It makes me happy and sad. We have suffered through various types of losses, but also have rejoiced in many happy events and gains.
My goal this year was to establish a stronger relationship with God. Don't get me wrong. I am not a holier than thou type of person. With all of the ups and downs that my family has been through, there has to be a reason why. We are not bad people. My husband goes out of his way to help friends and family. He is strongly committed to his friends and would never turn his back. Me, I have been teaching Sunday School, I volunteer to help out financially with my oldest son's school donating supplies whenever I can. My parents are taken care of, we volunteer our time to our church and school. We don't drink and go out to party. Our kids are priority number 1. We also are trying to teach them strong family values. So why do bad things happen to good people? Is God trying to make us suffer to remind us that we are human and to appreciate the things we have? There are so many questions that I would like answered, but know that I will never get any type of direct response.
2008 is right around the corner and I pray that good things will happen to all good people in the world. I pray for peace so that our troops overseas can come home safely. I pray that the environment will stabilize and end the suffering from hurricanes and tragic storms. I pray that everyone will remember the hardships other people are going through while they are enjoying the blessings they receive in their life.
Have a happy, and safe New Year everyone!
