The new year has brought great challenges to everyone. A new President is now in the White House. All around there are signs of despair because of the economic meltdown we are facing. Every so often I hear about some who are determined to come out of this with God's help.
I am a realist. Times are hard. But I am also an optimist. We are a resilient people. Hard times are real, yet one must never loose hope. Recently I turned off the news reports and found myself looking at the stars. It was extremely peaceful. Looking at the stars, I remembered the night when the angels sang at the birth of our Lord. A night of hope, peace and joy. As I look forward, I pray for us to be in the center of God's abiding power, trusting Him for everything.
