2006 will be bright because I know my redeemer lives. Its the thing I can hang onto. He smiles at me and loves me. <br /> <br />I think of the year 2006 to be a time where God envelops me in his arms. And never lets go. I will be able to truly embrace him as father. And I will be the adored daughter. <br /> <br />2006 will be bright. Because I will stop munching on potato chips and krispy cremes. <br /> <br />I'll start treating myself better physically, emotionally, intellectually, socially <br /> <br />2006 will be bright. Because I know, that my redeemer lives. <br /> <br />I will keep my house beautiful because its my mansion.My gift from God. I will buy plants and pictures to reflect the beauty. <br /> <br />I will find energy to wash the dishes and mop the floor. Because I will contract with my friends to make this happen. God I need a special measure of grace to make that happen. <br /> <br />2006 will be bright because..... I will embrace an 'attitude of gratitude' and embrace the God who MADE ME.<br /><br />Kimberly (Strothman) Anderson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/2006-will-be-bright/
