Ring in the New Year

Another year is over in two days. This year has gone by faster than any other I have experienced in my life. I wonder if each year will go by faster than the year before? As you begin 2024, I  found this message on how to begin the coming year on a positive note. The author is unknown.

– Mend  a quarrel.

– Seek out a forgotten friend.

– Dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust.

– Give a soft answer.

– Manifest your loyalty in word and deed.

– Forgo a grudge.

– Examine your demands of others.

– Think first of someone else.

– Express your gratitude.

– Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the Earth.

                                    AND

 Give thanks to our Lord every day for His unconditional love that came to us in the form of a baby born in a lowly place.  We are forgiven and saved through His grace. 

Begin the year with a clean slate and lift those burdens from your shoulders with help from our Heavenly Father. “Seek and you will find. Knock and the door will be open. Ask and it will be given.
Matthew 7: 7-8.
 Thanks be to God!
