2010 Oh my, oh my! Here it is, a New Year! Adah tried to stay up with me to see the New Year arrive, but she fell asleep. She had lots of questions about the crystal ball. Will it break when it falls? Why does it fall? How does it fall? That is our Adah. She tells us all regularly that she is a genius. She crashed about 10:30. Thank goodness we didn't talk about resolutions. I am sure she would have had a thousand questions.
I have no resolutions. I do not plan to torment myself by planning to do something, and then to just have it tossed by the wayside in a few months. I just want to live one day at a time and do my best to honor and glorify God as I go about the business of making a living!
I heard this guy on the radio last night while we were driving back from Lubbock, and he was talking about what it is that gets a person through the day. He mentioned a lot of motivators, but the one that stuck in my mind was his reference to that "cold beer at the end of the day." What would it look like if the motivator was something other than that "cold one" at the end of the day? What if it was God and Jesus? Now, after living through what I have lived through, I can tell you that alcohol is not a motivator that gets me through the day. What would happen if I woke up thinking, "Today I have an opportunity to live one day at a time and live this day to the honor and glory of God"? I wake up thinking that this day is a day that I can try to be the best commode cleaner or best painter or best whatever it is. I know that God will be glorified, and He is pleased with me. It motivates me; it encourages me; it puts a bouncy in my step (along with my new shoes). And when I am so tired that I can hardly get my stuff in the car, I feel good; and I know that I finished well. God is honored.
Family
We had a great Christmas, the first time in a very long time. If I can get it posted here is a slide show of some of our time together and our beautiful snow!
Noah loves his Papaw.
Hope your holiday season was as much fun as ours!
Blessings from Belinda and Billy!
