Very good advice, Faith is a wonderful experience for those who truly believe. I dare not make any resolutions'. Well I might make a couple that I know I will not break.

I love the freshness of a New Year as well...Yes, God should always be first...There is something to be said for how the Amish and Mennonites live.

Good Evening
Thank you so much for writing such a nice post. It's very cold here, and we have a snowstorm going on. Our snow is very deep, and Sadie is having fun making snow angels in the deep snow. She dives into the deepest snow and then rolls around and jumps out. She loves to do this. We are in the single digits, and I can hear the wind howling. If it keeps snowing, it's going to be a complete white-out! I'm glad we are all in the house, warm and safe. Caeser is still sick, but I did manage to get out all my recycling out for tomorrow morning. I hope you and your family have a wonderful New Year!

Re: Sherry
Thanks for posting your recipe. My apologies for the misspelling of the word "Amish"; it's very comical. Grammarly failed me. Omish is not even a word.

I agree that God needs to be first. Whenever anxiety hits me I confide in Him and anon I feel relief. I do devotionals 3 times daily. It's a gentle reminder to keep Him in my presence.

Great post. You are always thinking deep, and you have touched on a few different areas. Putting God first is really vital to having a blessed life. Our Amish communities in Pennsylvania have expanded into conforming with the English through running businesses outside their communities and online, and they are driving automobiles. Old order Amish are your more basic groups who live off of the land and rely on their own community to survive. Btw, I posted my pizza 🍕 dough and sauce recipe in answer to you on my Daily Travels blog post. Have a wonderful day.
