May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!


To all our family and friends we would like to wish a very happy, healthy and blessed new year. May this year ahead of us bring opportunities to be an example of God's love and the chance to show our compassion and tolerance to all of God's children. I pray that as our new President elect takes office, God guilds him with all the many difficult tasks he has facing him. I pray this new year brings renewed faith in our government and great country to those who have lost their faith and hope in America, possibly due to lost jobs and/or homes. That they find their strength in God as only he can provide. I pray for our family, that God continues to hold us up in our grief over the loss of Ryan and Grandpa Tom and that each day God takes a little bit more of that grief from our hearts. We all have a new start today, to change what we want to change and to continue to do what works in our lives. My goals for 2009 are to live the words of Christ more diligently, to be more of service to God and his Church. To be a better citizen and to help my fellow American when and where I can. To be a better mother, wife, daughter, sister and friend and to take a little more time for my self and spiritual health. So friends and family may God bless you in all your endeavours for 2009!
