2012 — Make the Most of Every Opportunity

15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.
–Ephesians 5:15-17

During the New Year may you have:

  • enough happiness to keep you sweet – enough trials to keep you strong,
  • enough sorrow to keep you human – enough hope to keep you happy,
  • enough failure to keep you humble – enough success to keep you eager,
  • enough friends to give you comfort – enough wealth to meet your needs,
  • enough enthusiasm to make you look forward to tomorrow,
  • and enough determination to make each day better than the day before.

11 And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.
–Romans 13:11-12

Have a happy and blessed New Year!
