Endings & Beginnings

In my blog roll this morning was a GREAT read!  Here are some quotes from it:

So when you feel all the endings coming ... begin looking for all the beginnings. I am whispering thanks for endings -- and giving thanks that there are always, always, new beginnings....

Very appropriate and encouraging words as we look forward, as a family, to new beginnings this Fall.

The GREAT read ended with the following verses:

Revelation 1:8 (NLT) --- "I am the Alpha and the Omega — the beginning and the end," says the Lord God. “I am the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come — the Almighty One.”

Revelation 21:6 (NLT) ---  And He also said, “It is finished! I am the Alpha and the Omega — the Beginning and the End. To all who are thirsty I will give freely from the springs of the water of life."

Isaiah 43:19 (NIV) ---  See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.

I am grateful this morning that my Heavenly Father remembers me and makes certain that I sense His presence!
