The end of a year opens up for a new year. It is exciting and full of great expectation for some people but for others, it is full of uncertainty and crowded with fears. Many start the New Year with enthusiasm but end the year disappointed. However, this will not be so when there is adequate preparation.

The past year may have been full of challenges and disappointment but you need to let them pass with the year. Start afresh and expect a most fruitful new year.

Count your blessings, name them one by one and give glory to God. Even if the year went sour compared to your expectation, there are certainly many things to thank God for if you will take a moment to think. Thank God for the past year and the New Year.
