This will ensure thee A Happy New Year! ~ By Frances Ridley Havergal ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Little Note from Cobblestone Road Ministries: Php 3:13-14) Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Forgetting those things which are behind... Reaching forth unto those things which are before... Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. "My yesterday was Christ upon the tree, Who bore the condemnation due to me. Today I journey on, and He must lead, He knows my pathway, and He knows my need. Tomorrow is not, yet His wisdom plans, I leave my future in His loving hands. Full well I know those hands all worlds upbear, The hands that hold the stars shall hold my care." ~ By S.T.F.
