I had a great Christmas. My son, Markus, and his spouse, Stephanie were with Phyllis and I. We ate, opened presents, talked, and watched a great movie. It was a very special day indeed. But I was worn out from all the extra Christmas services. We had four of them in two days. To top it off we had are regular services on Sunday. So, today I am trying to recover and at the same time get some new tasks accomplished.
Life will always have its share of to do items. In the midst of being busy I am also asking God to calm my soul. I need His strength and wisdom now more than ever. Real resting is allowing God to run the universe and that includes me. I wish all who read these words a very Happy New Year and I am praying 2011 be the year I trust God more and more each day of my life.
