New Years Reflections
by mvanderwalPOSTED Feb 08 2010
As clocks struck midnight on the 31st of December champagne bottles popped, toasts were made, fireworks were shot off into the sky and the world celebrated the New Year!
A New Year brings hope for change with a new year. The cycle of life continues on bringing new births, laughter, death, and sorrow. Beautiful Gate is not immune to these things. While welcoming in the New Year we have experienced a mixture of emotions. On December 6th, 2009 a 14 month old baby girl passed away. We laid her to rest on January 7, 2010. Soon after, an abandoned 2 month old baby boy was found by the grace of God and is now safely in our care. Additionally, the children in our care who came to us malnourished and sick are now flourishing. We also anticipate the imminent union of families with their beautiful children.
The realities of life never change. Sorrow and joy come to us all. Never the less, we know that we are in the palm of God’s hand. We find peace in knowing that He will carry us through all of the challenges and emotions that 2010 will bring.
We praise His name!

May you always bring that sweet fragrance of Christ to those around you, in every situation, at all times…. It isn’t always easy, but He will be with you and bless you in all things.
Thank you for being Christ to the lesser of these….
