January 5, 2025, placed 8th in Gina McIntosh's premier Happy Birthday contest

********************************************************************************************

Jubilantly, I embrace the gift of each new year, As I pray God banishes each old doubt and fear. New opportunities arrive; old ones are renewed. Upcoming days, I know, with God’s love will be imbued. As Christian, mama, grandma, and neighbor, I’ll strive to be Responsive to others’ needs while keeping some time free. Yielding to my muse’s guidance, I will just be me! Jesus’s love warms my heart on cold gray January days. On my birthday, I give Him special praise. Years fly by, as upon life’s wonders I gaze.
