The birth of a new child, the dawn of a new day and the beginning of a new year.
There's a sense of excitement. New hopes and new expectations!

The Ancient and famous king David said " O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.." Psalms 107:2.

Jesus Christ is our Savior. He is our redeemer and our deliverer. We can not be cursed when we have been blessed.

Therefore let us rejoice and be glad.

"Get out of bed! Wake up!.. God's bright glory has risen for you.
The whole earth is wrapped in darkness, all people sunk in deep darkness,
BUT God rises on you, his sunrise glory breaks over you.
Nations will come to your light, kings to your sunburst brightness.
Look up! Look around!Watch as they gather, watch as they approach you;
Your sons coming from great distances.
Your daughters carried by their nannies.
When you see them coming you'll smile-big smiles!
Your heart will swell and yes, burst!...
What's that we see in the distance...Returning your children from faraway places,..
Not long ago you were dispised refuse-out-of-the-way, unvisited, ignored.
But now I've put you on your feet,
Towering and grand forever, a joy to look at!...
You'll have no more need of the sun by day
nor the brightness of the moon at night.
God will be your eternal light,Your God will bathe you in splendour
Your sun will never go down,
Your moon will never fade.
I will be your eternal light
Your days of grieving are over!.." Isaiah 60 (Msg)
