Am I the only person that likes new things?
I highly doubt it. What can you think of
that is better than that “new car smell”.
Probably not too much out there but I am
sure you all can think of a few things.
When I was 12 years old, I saved up my money
and got myself a brand new Swiss Army
knife. It was so awesome, with all the new
gadgets, I was careful when I used it
because I didn’t want to wear off its
newness. After a while it hit me, what was
it good for if I wasn’t going to use it. I
still have it today, but I keep it safe.
Yes I used it for a lot of my teenage years,
but I put it away so that I can give it to
my son one day. Can you think of something
so precious in your life that you didn’t
want to use it because of its value or maybe
it was very sentimental to you. I know God
can name one. He gave his most precious
possession, his son Jesus. That’s what
Christmas was all about. It’s a new year
and with a new year comes new beginnings.
I’m not talking about resolutions that will
eventually be broken by the end of the
month, let Jesus guide your life and you
will see a change in 2010.
