Happy New Year

Well... it's almost the end of 2016.  

In many ways this has been an amazing year, a difficult year, a year filled with change, hope, fears, successes and failures.  There has been much joy, sorrow, fun, sadness and through it all we are so very thankful! 

Habakkuk 3:17-19The Message

Though the cherry trees don’t blossom
    and the strawberries don’t ripen,
Though the apples are worm-eaten
    and the wheat fields stunted,
Though the sheep pens are sheepless
    and the cattle barns empty,
I’m singing joyful praise to God.
    I’m turning cartwheels of joy to my Savior God.
Counting on God’s Rule to prevail,
    I take heart and gain strength.
I run like a deer.
    I feel like I’m king of the mountain!
