By this time last year, I was devasted that my wedding did not hold as planned. My income was far below my plan. I cancelled the proposed wedding date.

My plan B made my wedding a success without any debt.  Many thought I  hit the jackpot when I finally proposed another date that worked out well.

While I reflected on some things I haven’t accomplished this year, I counted the remaining months and started having some nice thoughts about the thief on the cross, who spoke well about Jesus.
