The end off the year is a time of reflection. But when we do, let us remember that, while the peaceful times are pleasant, they’re also static. It’s our trials that cause us to grow — if we allow them to. How? By reflecting upon the truths they’ve taught us, and determinedly applying those truths to who we are — and who we are becoming.

Deep into trial right now. Pray for that I will learn and grow.
Oh, no. Praying, Timothy.
Wonderful! I love the images!
Amazing images! Indeed, time to reflect.
Great pics and quotes.
My Favorites are the VW with eyes, and the quote, “Life can only be understood backwards. But it must be lived forwards.”
Blessings.
Thanks, you too, Pete.
I like that last quote in particular.
My too, Liz, and it felt right as the closing thought.
The photo of the “goodbye” (sad face, reflection of hand waving) says so much in zero words – excellent.
Beautiful and intriguing pictures
Fabulous images-each perfect in it’s own way. 🙂
Great reflections all the way around!
Our Lord Allowed me to introduced to Evangelism Explosion and our Lords Gospel to 16 Churches in 2024. 12 in South Carolina, 2 in NC, and 2 in MD. As in Luke 14:23 Then the master said to the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. Praying that all trained will multiply themselves 100-fold.
He allowed me to give monthly support funds to go to Evangelism Explosion in Cuba, Haiti, Peru and Bolivia.
He allowed a new ministry I am calling “The Forge”. There are 5 young men who are joining me weekly to be mentored in their growth in our Lord and His ways.
