Grateful for the past and future, always asking God to guide me along the way and accept His will be done in my life!

 

With grateful hearts the past we own;

The future, all to us unknown,

We to Thy guardian care commit,

And peaceful leave before Thy feet.

—P. Doddridge 

We are like to Him with whom there is no past or future, with whom a day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day, when we do our work in the great present, leaving both past and future to Him to whom they are ever present, and fearing nothing, because He is in our future as much as He is in our past, as much as, and far more than we can feel Him to be, in our present. Partakers thus of the divine nature, resting in that perfect All-in-all in whom our nature is eternal too, we walk without fear, full of hope and courage and strength to do His will, waiting for the endless good which He is always giving as fast as He can get us able to take it in. 

—G. Macdonald 

Grateful for the past and future, asking God to guide me along the way and accept His will be done in my life always! We need to live for the future. Respect the past, but move on with new goals. Forgive ourselves from past offenses, to turn to Jesus, follow Him! To reflect, forgive, imitate, and love like Jesus trusting in His will be done, knowing the past is over and living for the future, doing all to work toward spending life eternal in Heaven with Jesus once this Earth School journey has come to an end! Living with a grateful heart knowing that it is a magnet for miracles in my life! Live the new year, 2026 well!
