On this 10th day of Christmas, I am grateful for the love of family, both by blood and by the Spirit. To be known and yet loved is a great gift. I am not and, while still bound by time, will never be “perfect” in anything. That doesn’t bother me, because Jesus has told me that the good work He has begun in me, HE will complete. It’s not what I could ever do, but what He has already done that fills me with hope and confidence as this new year marches onward. He gives the strength to follow as He leads. Thank you, Jesus!
