31 Days in December #31: What we know for sure

Reflecting on the day and the year, here's what I know for sure.

1. God is good. He takes care of us and guides his children.

Eating breakfast together: we celebrate
God's provision - and in this case,
his abundance!

2. We are loved.

As I pack up my 2 little homemade trees,
I feel the beautiful assurance
of Christmas: we are loved
beyond what we can understand!

3. The future is hopeful.

K loves to imitate us, but she's
her own person with her own future
(even with Oma's reading glasses on her nose)

What stands out to you, in this last day of 2013? What are you looking forward to in the New Year? (Please let me know if the comment field is easier to use; it's been updated. Thanks. RK)
