New Year

This week between Christmas and New Years Day has a certain quality about it. It’s the time in which many of us reflect on the past year and anticipate the year to come.

While we look back over the year we simultaneously look forward to the next. We make grand plans to lose weight, spend more time on the ‘important things’ in life, and generally hope to make the next year better than the last. The birth of a new year brings with it a spirit of hope.

As you ponder the New Year, I invite you to bring along a friend. There is One who has great plans for you. While the coming year is wrought with mystery, God’s love is steadfast and sure. Take a few moments this week to pray about God’s will for you this coming year. If the past year has left you a bit weary or bitter, this is a good time to bring that to God as well. This is the season for hope and healing. May God’s blessing be upon you. Happy New Year!

See you Sunday,
