41. As the year ends, I hope for a better New Year.     

Therefore I have seen that there is nothing better than a man

to rejoice in his work,

for that is his portion.

Oh, who will bring him back to see what will be after him?

(Ecclesiastes 3:22)

It is winter with a cold wind.

As I close the year, I reflect on myself.

I pray to the Lord with repentance,

and hope for a better new year.

I am grateful for

the grace of God and the love of the Lord

that He has given me throughout the year.

I am grateful for the warm hearts of the saints,

the saints’ families, and our family.
