...people...

I was 'studying' today and kept seeing these wee guys out of the window, so eventually I went out to pick them up.

Every time I looked outside they were being thrown all over the place by the wind, it reminded me of some things I've been pondering on over this holiday.

I love people. A lot. And God has given me some pretty wonderful people to love, all over the world. I've learned about how to put this love into action over the last year, and I look forward to learning and loving even more in 2007.

I love to share life with people, to share their hard times, to share what God's teaching us. But I still don't like sharing my pain. My father God has given me an amazing extended family, people to share life with. To stand alongside in hard times. To just be there together, beyond words. Those little leafs were being thrown about all over the place, but they were determinedly sticking together.

I don't know what's going to happen this year, there's a lot of uncertainties, but I know that God will be my home, my solid ground. And there will be people around me who I can live life alongside sharing the lows as well as the highs. Here's to a new year of adventures and sticking together!
