For 2011 I am choosing a word as the word to inspire me all year. Do any of you do that? This is the first year I will be doing this.
The word I choose is "shine". I think it has a lovely ring to it, and there are some great Scripture quotes for "shine."
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:16 NKJV
"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness comprehends it not." John 1:5
"For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth)." Ephesians 5:8 This one mentions light and not shine, but the idea is here too.
Many of the blogs I follow are written by bloggers who really do shine and inspire me, and I aim to do the same here.

Terra, great choice in Scripture! I am so happy I know you. You have been such a wonderful friend. COme visit soon. I posted some New Year Scripture thoughts too. Happy New Year! Many blesisngs to you and yours. Anne
I don't bother with anything like that...don't even bother with resolutions.... mostly cuz I'm a procrastinator...and probably wouldn't follow through....
I am, however, going to finish some of those procrastinated upon projects this year...or else! Or else they go in the bin....
oh...and... just for you...I re-posted my Parsnip Puffs on the Tea and Scones blog Terra...
WOW!!! That is a great idea, what a wonderful word to choose!!!
Hope you had a Blessed Christmas, and I hope you have a very wonderful New Year!!!
God's Blessings to you!!!

Shine is very nice....I think if we all had a bit more shine and a little less lackluster, the world would be so much better.....
May 2011 SHINE abundantly for you!
XXOO~~♥

You probably know the song.
"Shine Jesus shine
Fill this land with the Father's glory
Blaze, Spirit blaze,
Set our hearts on fire
Flow, river flow
Flood the nations with grace and mercy
Send forth Your word
Lord and let there be light."
Cliff Richards sings it on Youtube.

Shine sounds like your "other" name Sunshine-just perfect for you . What a fun idea to pick one word for inspiration. I will pray on that one and let you know. Love, Sparkles
Great idea! Thank you for inspiring the rest of us to shine as well. And thanks so much for visiting and leaving a comment on my post today. :)
Very neat idea.
I had never thought of that before. "Shine" does make you think of many things, many good things at that.
Great word!
That's a beautiful thought. I love reading all the wonderful inspirational things the dear bloggers are sharing for their new year! God Bless you and
Let your light shine!

Hi Terra, thanks for becoming a follower on my blog. I have visited your other blog but this is my first time to this one. I like your idea of using a word for the year. Also I love parsnips. I put turnip in with cabbage, onions and potatoes and boil it with a smoked shoulder for a New England Boiled dinner. Yummmm. The next day I fry the cabbage with butter. Delish....
You already 'shine' girl!!! I love your word of the year.
Mine would be 'love'. Ya just gotta have it so ya can spread it around baby.
God bless and have a 'shinning' day!!! :o)
What a great idea! I notice you have many, many followers. I look forward to the day that some show up on my blog.
I came over to discover your WORD for the year and discovered a great blog to go along with it!
I love the word you picked. It's a perfect goal for the year.
I am continually amazed at the inspiration that I get in blogland.
This year mine is BEGIN.
I think it helps to have a reminder, or pay attention word to clarify and give focus. : D
