Here we are beginning 2014, and I pray that it will be a wonderful year filled with excitement and blessings. I trust that you and yours had a blessed Christmas and a peaceful holiday experience. Linda and I so enjoy the Christmas season and we look forward to our children coming home. We love the opportunities to be “family”, a time to catch up on what has taken place in their lives, as well as expectations the New Year provides. For many of us it becomes a time of reflection with renewed hope of what exciting new adventures our lives will journey on and the paths with which we will follow! We here at Bonnie Dallas are so blessed by all of our wonderful volunteers. We are indebted to each of you for your service to the many programs and activities that take place throughout our campus. Mark your calendars for the following upcoming events: January 18: Bar D Wranglers to entertain a the Main Center – tickets on sale ($8.00) February 3: Valentine Bingo: 1:00 pm. February 14: Valentine Dinner and Dance (dance starts at 10:30 am). March 1: Senior Prom hosted San Juan College: (6:30 pm). April 15 - May 16: San Juan County Senior Olympics I am reminded that God wants each of us to move through this New Year with a quiet heart, and inward assurance that He is in control, a peaceful certainty that our lives are in His hands, a deep trust in His plan and purposes, and a thankful disposition toward all that He allows. God has a path for your feet to follow, a plan for your heart to discover, and a purpose for your life to fulfill. There is nothing like the “new year” to turn over a new leaf and get started on heading forward! Maybe you wish to share your time and skills as a volunteer, or possibly you will join a new class and make new friends and learn something new. Whatever it may be get yourself involved and life will be filled with fulfillments. God Bless Each of You!
