1.1.11 Posted on January 1, 2011January 2, 2011 By pamela Another “New Year” is upon us… fresh and clean, unblemished and new. There’s something marvelous and hopeful about a new beginning — a fresh start. And so, with this blog entry, I pray for, and wish for you as well, a year of great hope, joy, peace, faithfulness and steadfast walking with the Lord. I pray for the peaceable fruit of righteousness and faith for each day. 21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. 22 It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. 24 The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. 25 The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. 26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD. –Lamentations 3.21-26 with love, pamela Potpourri
