Our God is so good! His mercies are new every morning. Each day, we can start with a clean slate. But first we must erase yesterday’s slate. 

As we begin a new year, let us “forget those things that are behind.” Let us put regrets, mistakes, and sins into the forgiving hands of our Blessed Savior. Then let us look forward with renewed hope at what He has in store for us. 

Despite the turmoil in the world around us, we can have hope. Why? Because Hope is a Person! Hope is Jesus Christ! And Hope will see us through every situation. 

Happy New Year to you, dear writer friends. Let 2010 be your year of hope in Christ!
