A New Book

           When you read a book, do you ever go to the back of it and read the last chapter first?  I never met anyone who did.  The last chapter is normally the one that brings closure to the tale(s) that have been woven throughout the many prior chapters, and most often it is a satisfying conclusion.

            Today is day 2 of a new year.  Depending on the choices we have an opportunity to make, this day 2 can be page 2 in our new book.  We can collectively close the book on all that has gone on in the past and view this year as one rife with opportunities to be a better man, and utilize each new day as a fresh page in what is our book of life.  Just as in the books we read, we have no idea what the final chapter will be like, but we can rest assured that if we live our new book as God would intend us to do that the final chapter will be beyond our wildest expectations.

           Each of us is the only author of our book of life.  Only we can dictate what goes into that book, through the choices and decisions we make.  When we write them we must not worry about what the critics will say or what the reviews might indicate, for when the last chapter is completed it will be just God who will like or dislike the book we have submitted.
