Happy New Year
Many are beginning this new year with trepidation. After all, we read and hear, many times a day, about the downward spiral of the economic crisis, wars, and other singularly uncheery news.
One might ask why Santa didn't make it all better a few weeks ago?! Hmmm, maybe he checked his list once or twice and determined that mankind was naughty and not so nice!
As we enter 2009 I am very thankful for Jesus who forgives and transforms naughty, not-so-nice people (like me at times) into loving, peaceful, helpful people.
I am thankful for His gift of forgiveness, having subjected Himself to God's anger and sentence against mankind's injustice—mine and everyone's—on the cross.
I am thankful for His justice, that He imputes to anyone who places her/his unadulterated confidence in Him.
I am thankful for God's provision over the decades of my life and fully believe that He will continue to provide for my true needs.
I am thankful for His protection, care and compassion.
Dr. Klaw and the family wish you a 2009 rich in trust in Jesus, hope in Jesus, and love for Jesus and others. We wish you a confident 2009 in Christ!
And we were thankful to get back to our nice warm apartment!
