Tippy-Toes

Out with the old, in with the new. You have heard the saying, right?

Today seems to be a good day to bring it up – the last day of 2025.
Out with the old and in with the new. Not to be a party pooper, but it’s just another day, isn’t it? And yet it’s my favorite.
To be done with the old, wide-eyed, stretching tippy toes for that new beginning just hours away. A new canvas to paint a new landscape, better, brighter, bolder than the one finishing up today.
And, of course, there’s the food.
Black-eyed peas, collards or cabbage, and cornbread. Eat like that all year, and we’d all be healthier in body and finances by year’s end.

Have I always been this enthusiastic about a new year? Actually, no.
It took time with JESUS to get here. He had to give me a new nature and a Biblical worldview to bring me here. It’s good to be here.
I expect if He gives me all the days of 2026, when I arrive here again, I will again be on tippy toes looking to the next horizon. How about you?

17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come!
18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation
19 that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men’s trespasses against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
20 Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ: Be reconciled to God.
21 God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5
