Another Year Ends

As fireworks boom outside my window and the clock ticks toward 2026, I’m leaving 2025 with a heart full of gratitude.

For life.

For health.

For family.

For friends.

For sufficient grace when shadows persisted.

For goodness and mercy that followed me.

For faith that anchored me.

For unseen hands that protected me.

For sunsets that left me speechless.

For silver moons that lifted my head.

For words that gave me hope.

For food, shelter, and clothing.

For peace that defied explanation.

For birthday celebrations.

For the privilege of prayer.

For the laughter of children.

For shoulders to lean on.

For hands to hold.

For hugs that lingered.

For meaningful conversations.

Maybe 2025 left you complaining, but, for me, it was loaded with blessings from above.
