I stumbled on this today. What an awesome way to look ahead to a new year in Jesus Christ.
We will this year gather celestial fruits on earthly ground, where faith and hope have made the desert like the garden of the Lord. – Spurgeon
Faith always has in it the seeds of spring. And the Lord Jesus loves nuturing the seeds of our faith.
So it’s goodbye 2011 and hello 2012!
And what a year it was for the Clow’s; with a new driver in the house, the death of a loved father and grand father Tom Clow, followed closely by the death of Chloe the cat. And on top of that huge changes in another place that carries our passion – church. Great changes mind you! Levelled up our building!!! So its been a year of great grief, challenge, opportunity and preparation for the future.
And now the new year holds great promise. With an awesome wife, great kids, and a loving family and extended family; the future is wide open. And knowing that my Lord and Saviour Jesus has prepared for me good pastures and pleasant wide open spaces, I am content.
My 2012 be a year of great contentment and joy for us all.
Blessings, Carey
