My Aunt Kay Jean suggested I start sharing a verse of the day.  I liked her suggestion but decided instead of a verse of the day, I would share a verse of the week.  Be reminded of who God is from His Word. The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;      his mercies never come to an end; 23  they are new every morning;      great is your faithfulness. 24  “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,      “therefore I will hope in him.” 25  The Lord is good to those who wait for him,      to the soul who seeks him. 26  It is good that one should wait quietly      for the salvation of the Lord . (Lamentations 3:22-26)

Happy New Year! I am looking forward to 2016.  I am working on a post for 1 Corinthians 13 Parenting for why I do not make New Year's Resolutions.  Check it out later in the month.  For today, I am sharing Matthew West's song "Day One" as a reminder of the new grace and mercy we receive each and every day. Because of the Lord ’s great love we are not consumed,      for his compassions never fail. 23  They are new every morning;      great is your faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22-23)

I am continuing to share the promises of God compiled by Kenneth Boa.  Here are several from the book of Lamentations: “The Lord has done what he planned; he has fulfilled his word, which he decreed long ago” (2:17). “Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.   They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness” (3:21-23). “I say to myself, ‘The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.’   The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord” (3:24-26).
