2016: A Future and a Hope

Tonight we ring out another year past. We sweetly remember the beautiful things and say “good riddance” to the painful junk.

We resolve to do better, look better, eat better.  To get organized and finally get fit. All noble resolutions that most of us won’t keep…again. 😉

BUT we have hope always hope. God promises us a future and a hope and I encourage you to start the new year when the click ticks twelve, with an attitude of positivity: about yourself. 

You are good. You are worthy. You deserve wonder and beauty and comfort.

Be expectant in 2016. Expect wonderful things. Look for ways you can make things wonderful for others.

Be blessed and safe tonight in whatever you do, whether it’s a grand gala or a peaceful ringing in at home in the arms of the one you love.

Unwrap the gift of hope that your future promises.

Be Expectant!
