2018 - CHILL!

Dear Friends,

Happy New Year!

I don't know about you, but this is without a doubt the coldest start to a new year that I have ever experienced. And I have experienced a bunch!

Now when someone suggests that I just 'Chill' - I hope they don't want me to take them literally. I'm cold already.

And the forecast does not look any better.

My point? Oh yeah, my point. Well, I guess that when I look at the weather calendar and see no relief in the foreseeable future, I am reminded that no matter how cold and dark the horizon might look, God has promised me a new beginning each and every day. He doesn't promise me warm, He promises me new. And new is better than warm. Where else in our life can we know without a doubt that God has our back and that He already sees a brighter day ahead? No where.

The weatherman does not have a clue. Only in weather forecasting and baseball can you make a living being right only 25% of the time. God is right all of the time.

So even if it takes another layer of clothing to keep you warm tomorrow, remember that God is already waiting for you with a blanket, a warm cup of tea and a bright (warm) light shining on your path.

May your 2018 be filled with the joy of knowing that we serve an awesome God and that He is our true warmth!

Blessings,
Dave
