Happy New Years!

"How will you be bringing in the new year?"

My hope:

Reality is probably going to be a little different. Since it is Saturday night, I will probably be sleeping somewhat soundly around midnight. For Jen and Larissa (who helps out on Friday & Saturday nights), midnight is about the time Timmy starts settling down for the night. He's sleeping well now, but he'll wake up by 10:00 to fuss for a few hours (if his current pattern holds).

So, while we'll all be hoping to sleep in the new year, there will probably be some late night 'festivities' going around to help us flip the page of our calendar.

Tomorrow's Sunday School lesson is on praise - how natural it is for a believer to praise God. And the morning service is from Exodus 15 - the songs of praise after God defeated the Egyptians in the Red Sea. I think the reminder is a good one.

"I will praise thee, O Lord, will my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvelous works!"
- Psalm 9:1

With all the lost sleep, medication schedules, Drs. visits, hospital runs and everything else in between, we have been blessed and God has shown himself greatly to be praised!
