All Things Made New

"And He said to me, 'It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.'" - Rev. 21:6-7

What a comfort and a joy to remember that God is our all in all! He satisfies all our needs. He makes all things new, and is about to give us a new year to experience new things. Praise the Lord!

Speaking of a new year, it is also almost the new semester of school. As I thought about that, I decided it was time for me to head to school today and start working again. I used the afternoon to unload school supplies, start delivering needed items to teachers, and start getting organized. I also looked at schedules again and had to start making some decisions. I am also redistributing furniture so all the teachers have enough tables and chairs for the students they will have. There is still lots to do, but at least now I have begun the process of getting ready for a new semester.

The other nice thing about today was the arrival of a family that used to live and work here. They are visiting until Saturday. It was wonderful to see them, and to see how much the kids have grown. The oldest son was one of my students during my first year here. I am looking forward to spending some time with them and catching up over the next couple of days.

I wish you all a Happy New Year!
