Peace for the New Year

Be anxious about nothing, but in everything by prayer and by petition with thanksgivings, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. For the rest, brothers, whatever is true, whatever honorable, whatever is right, whatever pure, whatever lovely, whatever of good report, if of any virtue, and if of any praise, think on these things. (Philippians 4:6-8)

I want the peace of God to guard my heart and mind which means I must learn to think and pray with gratitude. This is the first full week of the New Year. I can't believe it arrived so soon. Tomorrow will find us in the hospital waiting room while Dwayne's dad has minor surgery. This week, I'm grateful that Harold is still with us so that we can spend time with him and help take care of him. I'm even more grateful that Dwayne and I still love spending time together as much as we always have.
