I want

As this year comes to an end and we prepare for the beginning of a new one, I want to adopt the attitude of looking for the good, the beautiful, the holy in all of life. I want to celebrate the beauty of every sunset. I want to marvel at the child who giggles with abandon and savor the joy of it. I want to focus on the good that is in every person, seeing them as the handiwork of God. I want to make the most of every moment, recognizing that life is a gift I do not deserve. I want to experience love and give love. And as best I am able, I want people to see Jesus in me.
