THIS MESSAGE GRABBED my attention recently at Fourth Avenue United Methodist Church, Faribault, Minnesota.
Definitely words to ponder as 2013 draws to a close and we look ahead, with hopefulness and resolution, to the new year.
What opportunities will you seize in 2014?

Fabulous words, Audrey. My “words” are up today. Always a good exercise for me to choose my words.
I just read your words and they are perfect.
I find that the opportunities I have missed are the ones passing me by while I’m looking DOWN at my current project/circumstances. I must (resolve!?) to look up and observe such so none are missed!! Great post………….hugs…………….
Dear Doreen, I doubt you miss many opportunities given you are always doing something for others.
Well…..I do find myself crawling inside my head for periods of time. It’s quite cozy but does become cramped after a while!!!!!! LOL!
Hilarious!
Aw, c’mon, Audrey………don’t tell me you don’t do the same!!?? LOL! I do need to change the light bulb in there, though, as of the 1st that type is “outlawed”!!!! LOL!
OK, you got me.
Hehe! Thought so!!! I do think it’s ok to “treat” ourselves with such…….but only on occasion!!!! Hmmmm?
“You can lead a horse to water, but a pencil must be lead”. Is this relative to “Words to ponder”? Happy New Year Audrey and family.
Works for me, Allan. Keep your humorous comments coming in 2014. I always look forward to the laughter you prompt in me via your words.
Great Reminder – Great Reflection – Happy New Year!!!
