Resting on the Heart of Jesus

It is such a folly to pass one's time fretting, instead of resting quietly on the heart of Jesus.

~~Saint Therese of Lisieux~~

Indeed, the New Year always offers us this choice and how often during the year does "folly" win out?  I will try again and again not to fret for I KNOW that "resting on the heart of Jesus" is where I truly want to be!  

~~~^j^~~~

Thanks be to God!!!
