Watching the ball drop in Times Square has been a New Year’s Eve tradition for many years. This time, we all headed to bed as soon as the orb had reached its destination. The first evening of the New Year was filled with restful slumber followed by the dawning of a new day. Risking the trite to uncover the truth, we inwardly glowed with joy in the thankfulness for the new day. In reflecting during the morning of this New Year the impact of realizing that every dawn is the new beginning and thus the new opportunity to live life’s blessing in its fullness filled our heart. If one has ever questioned the blessings of life by counting its challenges as burdens, one need not look further than the new dawn to recognize the opportunity for beginning with thankfulness and gratitude the new gifts of life.
