WHAT'S AHEAD?
Well here we are friend, with a
brand new year on our hands. Sort
of like a blank slate on which we'll
fill in details for each new day. And
who knows what awaits us? Perhaps
fun and excitement. Certainly challenges.
We always have a few of those. And
what about miracles? They may very
well be on the calendar as well. For
many years my Dad, a movie
projectionist, had to work on New
Year's Eve. But just after the ball
dropped in Times Square our phone
would ring at home. It would be
Dad with his Happy New Year
greeting. My Dad passed away
just before Thanksgiving in 1994.
That New Year, just after the ball
dropped in Times Square, our
telephone rang. I picked it up and
said "Hello" but heard nothing on
the other end. Out Caller ID read
"Out Of The Area" or something
like that. But I knew from whence
the call was coming and who was
on the other end. It was undoubtedly
my Dad calling to say Happy New
Year and assure us that all was well.
Often we receive miracles like that
without stopping to see them for what
they are. Watch for them in this new
year and perhaps you'll recognize
them! Happy New Year and may all
your NEWS be good!
