Looking back at my 2006, though not without difficult times, maybe some of the hardest moments of my life, it is still full of God’s blessings and grace. And I know that even during those times, God is still with me and He is the One that carries me through. I hope that during this special time of the year, each greeting we receive, each gift we open, and the simplest things we experience will fill our hearts anew with wonder and awe at God’s goodness and love; we will marvel again at His amazing grace and mighty deeds.
