In the ranking of my years spent kicking around the planet, I'm going to have to put 2009 right near the bottom as we wrap up things tonight, and I do just a little reflecting. I'm not going to justify it here in this post. It just was.
Don't misunderstand. I am blessed in many, many ways, and I really do make every effort to remember that. So in the big picture of things, I know that what I consider to be my worst years are likely better than 3/4 of the population's best year. That's some humbling stuff. So why even judge it? I don't know. I guess we all do it. Call it grading on a curve. No matter what we have, or what occurs, we all want to do better, right? Most times, we hope for a New Year at least as good as the last, don't we?
All I'm saying, is that compared to 2009, there's definitely some room for improvement for me. The important thing for me to remember...for us all to remember, is that much of that is up to us, as long as we allow God's help.
So here's to all of us making this next year better, for ourselves and for our neighbors. Throw another year (and a decade) on the fire tonight, and in the warmth and light of those memories, let us ask God to strengthen and guide us to making next year one for the top of our lists!
Happy New Year.
