Now is the time of year when people begin to reflect back on the year that is closing and focus on the new year.  Many of the things that we set out to accomplish over this past year may have come to fruition, some not.  We have several ways of evaluating whether or not the year was successful, some productive, some not.  God’s measurement of success is surely not the world’s.  God’s measurement of success is: were we there?  Did we participate fully?  In whatever it is that was happening, were we present to it?  Did we play the cards that we were dealt or did we wish we had gotten other cards and spend the year waiting to be given a chance to change our hand?  Did we jump in with both feet or just walk around the edge of the pond and wonder what was in the water too afraid to even dip our toes in?  Only we can truly know the answer to that question, others cannot answer it for us.  My prayer for us today is that we look to how we can make the most of this year by what we do today. Can you participate today?  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
