Some people just love new things. They want a new car, a new house, new clothes. Something that’s never been used before, worn before, lived in before.
I am not that sort of person.
I love things with a past, with stories to tell, with lives already lived.
But that’s not to say that I don’t appreciate a few new things.
This week I’m thankful…
…for a new year with a chance for a sort of a fresh start
…that God’s mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:23)
…for a new tripod with which to take pictures (of myself–I’m so vain!)
…that I am a new creature in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17)
…for a first Christmas with my new niece (Yes, I know she’s not so new anymore, but she’s new enough, right?)
…that God is making all things new (Revelation 21:5)
I love the old, it’s true; but I am so thankful that God is in the business of making all things new.
Amen to the last statement. I love older, familiar, beautiful things of the past. But I am tremendously glad for new things as well.
Your niece is adorable. Love the hat!!
