A new decade. stepping into the unknown
I don`t think it hit me about the importance of this new year as we were moving toward it until I heard someone say, “Welcome to a new decade”. A new decade? Wow. That sounds massive to me. A decade. Ten years. What happened to the last decade and how did it go by so quickly? What does this new decade hold for me? The thoughts take me back to what it was like 10 years ago as we were anticipating the upcoming decade. The unknown was about to happen.
"The streets of gold beyond the crystal Sea"
This last week I was able to be at two beautiful celebration services of dear friends. My childhood friend lost her sweet Daddy. Another childhood friend lost her sweet Mother. They had both lived wonderful, full lives and left legacies for those behind them to live by. They both had physically broken bodies but now are whole again and completely healed by Him. The words of precious old hymns, sung at the services, were as balm to hurting hearts. They each held so much more meaning than they did when I learned them as a child. As I was growing up, I always loved singing in church.
