Happy New Year!
I always find the beginning days of January particularly exciting. While they are not actually all that different from any other days – they include the same 24 hours, the sun still rises and sets – still, there is something about a new date on the calendar that opens up a sense of possibility. We are making a new beginning. Anything might happen!
Maybe this is why we always have enough optimism to make New Years Resolutions. This new beginning reminds us that anything is possible. Whether we call them resolutions, goals, targets or just plain hopes, the new year gives us a little extra energy toward accomplishing something good.
I hope you are setting some goals for the new year. I especially hope that at least one of those goals has to do with your relationship with our loving God. Choose something – it can be just one thing – that you are going to do differently in the coming year. Take on a new prayer discipline. Commit to worship in a way that involves your whole heart. Set a goal for scripture reading. That one thing can make all the difference.
May you feel the presence of God walking with you in this new season!
Grace and peace,
Rev. Nancy
