Looking Forward

My sister LeeAnne blessed me with a beautiful leather bound book of quotes entitled "Whispers of Blessing - Daily Encouragement for Women". I love inspirational quotes, so this little book is perfect for me! Sooooo hard on me...all I want to do is cozy up in my big armchair with a coffee and read through the entire book non-stop. I'm not giving in to that temptation though. ;-) I think from time to time I'll make a point of sharing some of that encouragement here. Here's a fresh perspective for the beginning of 2012:

Instead of feeling sorry for ourselves as we

advance in years, or toting up the days and months

that are already past, let's praise God for all

the benefits He's already given and look forward

to all those that may lie ahead.
