Our blogs over the last few weeks have sorted through the happenings of 2020-good and bad.  No one will deny that it has been quite a year.  I admit that I was excited last January.  There was something that felt so right about a year that was named 2020.  

Is that not the best vision standard?  It is what we all want to have for ourselves.  To be able to see that best path and make the correct decisions.  To avoid the pitfalls of our human frailty.

Well, I think that we can agree that we all have 20-20 rearview vision as we stand on the threshold of the year 2021.  Can we use the knowledge and experiences that we acquired in the old year to form a safer, more enjoyable and productive new year?  We cannot fool ourselves into thinking that once the ball drops, we will have a new world that is not tinged with the sorrow and trials of the old one.  That is Pollyanna’s approach.

However, we have something that is so much better than wishful thinking.  We have an all-powerful God who loves us unconditionally no matter what is happening in this world.  We can control so little.  Isn’t it a comfort to turn all those worries and woes over to the Father who created us and wants only the best for us?  Believe this!  It is true. 

Acceptance is the key, combined with a little wisdom and courage, but backed by the Ultimate Source of our serenity and happiness in this world and the next.  Happy New Year!  Happy 2021!
