Blessings, favor and good wishes for 2012

Revelry along Ayala and Makati Avenue on New Year's Eve

It's already 2012 but we still look towards the heavens in amazement, in hope, in gratefulness, in prayerful thanks, and for divine inspiration. We thank God for the year that was even if there were things that didn't happen the way we thought they would. The changing of the year is more than a passing of time but also a transition -- a change from hope to greater hope that inspite of all the naysayers, the heavens will bring more blessings and favor for the year to come. So let me begin this brand-new year with a greeting of a more favor-filled, more blessings-filled year to all and this quote from Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
