\"\"<\/a>This is an open invitation to everyone to reflect on this past year.<\/p>\n

Listen to the news or read the papers, and it hasn\u2019t been such a hot 12 months on a number of fronts. But we know that our God isn\u2019t one constrained by the latest economic or political news. He\u2019s not one to wait till consumer confidence picks up. He\u2019s the same today, yesterday and forever.<\/em><\/p>\n

So, in what ways has God blessed you this year? Perhaps this year has been one of loss for you: a home, a job, or a loved one. How have you found blessings in your brokenness?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how to participate:<\/strong>
If you have a blog, write a blog post, link to this post, and then send us an e-mail<\/a> with your link.
If you don\u2019t have a blog, send your text here.<\/a><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll post your reflections beginning January 1.<\/p>\n
