Usually, it means something different than I thought it would. Last year&#8217;s word, meant to me that I should do more of it:\u00a0&#8220;Create&#8221;\u00a0but it also meant I needed some re-creating of my heart and mind. There were so many ups and downs in 2016, that I had to be flexible and look at things differently sometimes.<\/p>\n<h4>My One Word<\/h4>\n<p>This year I have been hearing the message, a very good message, that God loves me. It&#8217;s an important message that I think I and many other people tend to forget. It&#8217;s way too easy to have a pity party. I don&#8217;t need to do that to myself. I feel more blessed with how my life is than perhaps any other time in my life. But still&#8230;we always want more, don&#8217;t we? And when we think our prayers are going unheard, especially when those prayers are for others, not ourselves&#8230;well, it&#8217;s easy to forget who loves us. So, #myoneword for 2017 is BELOVED.<\/p>\n<p>I hope it reminds me daily that God loves me. Remember the popular TV show, Touched by An Angel? The characters were angels with orders to do things on earth to help people. And when they revealed themselves they announced, &#8220;God loves you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>[bctt tweet=&#8221;Chose #myoneword for 2017.
