Our Best Wishes to You for the New Year!

Praise the LORD, O my soul,
       and forget not all his benefits-

 who forgives all your sins
       and heals all your diseases,

 who redeems your life from the pit
       and crowns you with love and compassion,

who satisfies your desires with good things
       so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

(Psalm 103:2-5 NIV)
