A New Year Begins

Polynesian White Plumeria

"Dwell not on the past - only on the present. Only use the past as the trees use My Sunlight to absorb it, to make from it in after days the warming fire-rays. So store only the blessings from Me, the Light of the World. Encourage yourselves by the thought of these."

Meaning to me: Go forward in the New Year keeping the blessings of God with you. Don't dwell on things of the past year that did not work out for you or hurt you. Let the good memories continue to warm your heart. Learn from the past, absorb the lessons, and be encouraged and hopeful for the new year ahead.

"I hold the year in My Hands in trust for you. But I shall guide you one day at a time. Each day I supply the wisdom and the strength."

I am the light of the world; he that followeth me shall not walk
 in darkness, but shall have the light of life.  John 8:12
