This last year has been packed full of life, with first and second book publications, a happy and busy family, work to do, and sadly, two pooches who went to doggie heaven.
My parents, for the first time, realized that they were aging. Some of my friends' parents passed away.
Life seems suddenly too short.
My prayer for the end of 2013 and all of 2014 is this:
May God expand our moments to the fullest so we may know His joy and peace in all our relationships, and especially in our relationship with Him through his son, Jesus.
Amen, Tyrean. May we take time every day to appreciate the relationships we have with each other and with Him.
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely, Tyrean. I wish you all the best in 2014!
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful thought! Merry Christmas, Tyrean.
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful prayer! I may adopt a version of it if that's okay. :) Love this blogfest idea too.
ReplyDeleteThe book arrived today. Thanks so much! I'll be happy to post a review, but please don't hold your breath waiting. My TBR list is pretty long, and I am helping Susan R. with feedback as she's writing book 3 in her series. So it may be a little while, lol. But I will do my best. It's fun to hold your book in my hands! So excited for you with two books out and more coming! Congratulations on a wonderful and productive year!

Nice prayer. Many blessing to you in the new year.
ReplyDeleteMy heart just broke reading about your doggies. Ours are part of our family too.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas.
Life is always too short. I came to that same realization a few years back when my friends started passing away. But life endures. Have a Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteIt is human nature to really appreciate loved ones after they are gone. Strange timing isn't it.
ReplyDeleteA Blessed Day to you and yours.

That's such a sweet prayer!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. Life is too short to waste it on being mediocre. :-)
Hey Tyrean :)
ReplyDeleteYou were a few days early and I'm a few days late getting here, so we even each other out :)
THANKS for the kind words and the little poem that could - you chose some powerful words :)
Wishing you and yours a very happy and blessed New Year :)
