All things new

 Christmas has passed us by in a whirl and suddenly we're in a new year.  We had many lovely visits with family and friends and a rather unpleasant visit from a mouse family who decided to eat the van sparkplug for Christmas dinner. Now we're in the thick of frigid weather, but there's something about January sunlight that seems brighter, whiter, warmer? Is it my imagination??  With chili in the crockpot today and tea perpetually warming us I'm already dreaming of springtime. As we begin a new year I am thinking of the One who makes all things new and I am praying for a year of joy.
