Happy Christmas and New Year

Well, it has been an eventful year. The usual mix of good and bad plus the very bad, but as ever there is a New Year shortly to follow praise be to God.

Another year older and another year closer to going home. That thought keeps me going when things are really bad. In what will seem in retrospect to be the twinkling of an eye there will be Jesus welcoming me home. Oh glory.

Do not misunderstand me, I am not a depressive. That eternal perspective keeps the woes of this world in proportion and that thought of going home in God's good time brings me great joy.

As we remember the birth of our Lord and Saviour I am ever mindful of His eternal purpose in coming here.
