Happy New Year
to my family and friends
another year has ended
and a new one begins . . .

Many thanks to those
who cared -
sharing their love
friendship and prayers.

Some we lost
taken away
we'll meet them again
some bright sunny day!

Tears shed
many hearts grieved -
but we must march on
with our daily reprieve.

God is good
he never forsakes
He will be with us
no matter where our journey takes . . .

We climb the mountains
and scale the walls -
we keep on moving
till the Lord calls . . .

We laughed and cried
shared many dreams
held each other up
amidst the enemies schemes . . .


On comes the New Year
all pages are new
Only God Himself knows
what He has in store for you . . .

Much confusion,
disappointment and distress
but God lead us on
we each did out best . . .

My wish for you
this coming year
is God's peace and love
His grace and much cheer . . .

Time marches us
like a thief in the night -
before you know it
another year has dropped out of sight . . .

So Happy New Year
to family and friends
march on with Jesus
He is with us to the end!

Thank you Father
for another Year
to bring others joy,
God's love and good cheer!

May God bless you abundantly.

Facing decisions,
as those which we must make
each day, requires wisdom,
which can only be granted of God.

If we forge ahead,
on things we are not sure of,
without God's wisdom, 
we may pay a high price.

We have opportunities each day,
to seek Him, to seek His Word
and to pray.

If we walk blindly, into situations,
without considering His will,
they usually will bring conflict and strife.

If I feel uneasy...uncertain,
about any given decision, I usually do nothing,
as that is a red flag flying in the breeze.

Do not be hasty
in making major decisions,
until you have had time to seek God.

Only the Holy Spirit
is able to give us truth,
which prevents us from mistakes.

Seek God and may He order our footsteps.

Friends as we close out 2014 think of
what the two poems above speaks to us.
They tell us to keep our faith, trust in the
lord, seek His counsel, guidance and wisdom
prayerfully.

As you listen to the song, think of how
many times that God has answered prayers.
There is nothing that God cannot do ! ! !

God has blessed us in many ways!
Even though the US as a nation has
generally turned her back on God, He
is still blessing us. He is knocking
on America's door, but are we answering?

As we begin 2015 we need and must make
a resolution to do more for Jesus and His
Church. We all have "reasons" (possibly an
excuse) for not doing what God has called
or laid upon our heart to do, visitation,
working in VBS, choir; each of us knows
what God wants us to do as a ministry.
Don't let time slip away or run out!
I will leave with this question for all;
where would we be if Jesus had an excuse
for not going to the Cross for us?

We at Anchored In Him (Linda and I) would
like to thank all of our subscribes for your
prayers and sharing of our pages. We wish you
prosperity, happiness and God's blessings upon
you and your loved ones for the 2015 year.
Make a resolution to invite someone to church,
if you can get them into church there is a
good possibility they may get saved. The
seed is then sown, we must let God reap the
harvest. We hope to see you in church ! ! !

Heavenly Father as we close this year of 2014
we thank You for your blessings and the grace
that you have shown and given to us. We are unworthy
of this grace, but we thank thee for it along with
the greatest blessing of all your salvation.
Your Son paid the highest price for man kind
to receive entry to heaven for those who
accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior
and repent of their sins.
Lord let us all look deep within our hearts
and examine ourselves for improvement and kindness
to our fellow man. We know that there is room
for improvement, Lord create within us a
clean heart.
Heavenly Father forgive us of our sins and
where we have failed you at times when we
become weak in spirit and depend upon our
flesh.
Father as we go into the New Year we ask that
you continue not only to bless us, but prod
our hearts to do more for You and Your church.
Dear Lord let us not forget the missionaries
on the foreign fields, but let us pray for
missionaries here within the United States
the greatest mission field today.
Father I ask a special blessing in the
coming year for our subscribers and all
those who read and share our pages.
Heavenly Father be with our Armed Forces
and their families. Be with those who has
lost a loved one whether it be to war or
you have called them home. May the Comforter
fill their hearts where there is sadness and
grief.
Lord be with us we ask all these things in
Jesus holy name
Amen
