New Year - Hope for a Fresh Start

I love this time of year - the celebrations where I get to see people I have not seen in a long time. The hope that comes with Christ's birth.  And after the dynamic season of Christmas has passed, the chance for reflection to plan for the coming year.  My energies and hopeful visions feel me anew and I venture forth refreshed and energized.

Every year I make a goal list.  A list of hopes and plans and dreams.  I pin it up and stop and look at it throughout the year.  It reminds me to keep moving forward. It motivates to stretch and try something new.  I hope 2018 will bring you and your family joy and good health.  I hope your churches grow and that you fill your communities with good and loving deeds.  God bless - Lisa
