What 2 Remember - Part 1


“Do not call to mind the former things, or ponder things of the past. Behold, I will do something new. Now it will spring forth; will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43:19

“Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute. If there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things.” Philippians 4:8

It is a time of breathing in the new and out the old; in with the fresh, out with the stale. God always has a plan of renewal for us. Perhaps it could be a good time to think through the treasure nuggets from the past year, write them down and thank God for them. Then you could take another sheet, fold it in half length wise and write down all the painful things that happened one on side and write what you learned from each one on the other column (or what you ARE learning from this “lesson”). When you do this, you will find there may be connections between your treasure nuggets and your painful lessons.

Know His Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene

PS: Ongoing prayer requests: For the New Year in God’s hands. My friend, Hispa, who need to make a wise decision. Those returning to work this week; healing of Barb and Gary, who lost their jobs; wisdom for doctors caring for: Doris, David, Adrian, Randy and Michael. For some new work projects for me. Praise: Lyle’s brother (healing well) and for his girlfriend (who has stayed with him throughout the entire ordeal).
