I don’t know about you and how your year went, but mine was a mixed bag on many levels! This year flew by as no other before it, and in many ways I’m glad to see it go.  Still, as a New Year looms on the not-too-distant-horizon once again, I can’t help but wonder what it will bring….  I’m sure it will bring its own mixed bag.

Whatever the case, I know that our God holds us in the grip of His mighty and wonderful grace, regardless of our circumstances.  And it is for that reason I can say without hesitation, “Welcome, 2011!”

So it is with joy I wish you and your loved ones a very

Happy New Year!!!

Joyfully, in the grip of His grace and love,

Mary
