<\/a>HAPPY NEW YEAR<\/p><\/div>
\nI\u2019ve had a good year. Exceptionally so. In fact, looking back in a few years\u2019 time, I\u2019ll remember the twelve months that thronged together to form 2014 as special, worthwhile, exceptional. Oh make no mistake about it. Bad things happened in 2014. Quite a few of them in fact. But there\u2019s one little thing that enables me to look back at the year that was with a glow of gratitude and satisfaction. It’s called hindsight. <\/p>\n
You might call it retrospect. Or reflection. I prefer the term hindsight. Probably because to me it implies the ability to look at things from the vantage point of a spectator. Which is virtually impossible when you\u2019re right in the midst of the emotions, intensity and drama that come with actually experiencing the events chronologically. Hindsight allows you to look at things in context, to see the bigger picture. But that\u2019s not the reason why I\u2019m so fond of hindsight. See, to me, hindsight is often one of the clearest ways in which I can trace the hand of God so intimately at work in my life.<\/p>\n
