I didn't make any new years resolutions this year and I'm glad I didn't. God will provide me with a path, I believe. Liz

Sometimes we just have to put ourselves in God's hands. I had made new year resolution in the past, but have not followed through for reasons of this and that. I have decided this year I will just expect the unexpected, and let God lead my way.

How true, Joyce, I especially liked the next to last stanza-those last two lines are what people forget most.

Joyce, I do believe this is what God expects us to do...have a positive outlook in our lives and "not" to allow negativity to enter. I loved this much and got a real blessing from it. I've missed AD writers so much and it feels so great to be reading & hearing from all of you again. God Bless.

The power of positive thinking. "With faith in God I place my dreams
believing and waiting for my destiny to unfold resting and knowing
tenderly each He carefully does hold but my part I must do as well
praying and believing." Very well said my friend. An excellent write.

Wonderful! We forget that praying isn't always enough, we must also do what we as mortals can to obtain our desires, aleviate our troubles...

as you wrote so eloquently:

"tenderly each He carefully does hold
but my part I must do as well"
