I have become more and more aware this year of how many things I have to be thankful for. I have never been into the "New Year Resolution" routine, but I do remember last January 1 thinking that the one thing I wanted out of 2009 was to end the year closer to Jesus than when I started. I also set goals for myself as a mom, and one of those goals was to concentrate on helping my girls build their relationship with Christ as well. I think that my outlook on this past year has a lot to do with those goals.
You see, when you keep your focus on Jesus, your perspective changes. I really am more aware than ever that I am incredibly blessed. I have an awesome Savior. I am married to the world's most wonderful husband. I have precious daughters. We are blessed with some incredible friendships. We are part of the most wonderful church family in the world. I could go on and on...
And so, I look forward to 2010 and all it holds for us. I wish the same for you!
