Season's Greetings

As we reflect on the closing of this year, there are a multitude of blessings for which we can express our gratitude to God. We find appreciation in both the grand and the minute—the joyous milestones and the challenging moments that shaped us. We are thankful for the essence of life, the breath that animates us, the laughter that lights our spirits, and the tears that cleanse our souls. We cherish the opportunities that came our way and even those we let slip through our fingers.

This year has had its share of smooth journeys, where everything seemed to fall into place alongside less-than-smooth paths filled with unexpected detours and obstacles. We've navigated snags and bumps along the road, learning and growing from the storms of marriage and divorce and embracing the full spectrum of human experience—the joys and sorrows, victories and setbacks. This year will transform into a memory in just two days, inscribed as a chapter in our personal history books. Along the way, some dear to us have been lost; relationships that once flourished severed, while new bonds have blossomed in their place. As you take a moment to look back at the beginning of this year, remember the love and support from friends and family that brought a smile to your face. And what heartaches linger, weighing heavily in your heart?

No matter what significance this year holds for each of us, let us embrace the promise of the future with optimism. As we step into the days ahead, let us lift our hearts in prayer, seeking God's guidance for renewed strength and clarity of vision to navigate the journey before us.

Wishing you a Happy New Year in advance!
