2025: Faith, Hope, and Love

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to five you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 NIV

I pray that everyone had a fantastic Christmas. Are you ready friends? 2025 is just around the corner. These days the world is filled with concerns and uncertainties. Even with all the stuff going on today, God does have a plan for us, His people. Today’s passage suggests several thoughts when I think about the word mindset.

first, make the most of every situation. Second, live life with a purpose. And third, trust Gods timing.

 My friends as we walk into the new year, we do so with faith in our actions, hold your head up, standing tall, with our shoulders back and your eyes open. You can do all things through Christ who is your strength. Take these thoughts with you as you head into the new year:  

• If you want a rainbow you gotta have rain.
• It’s okay to cry, your human.
• Master the art of doing absolutely nothing.
• Life is about having a plan B through Z.
• To expect a miracle, you must first believe.
• Smile even when it hard or hurts.
• Happiness is an inside job.
• When life becomes a roller coaster climb into the front seat, throw your arms up and enjoy the ride.
• Open yourself up to a friend who wants to help.
• Look for the best in others.
• Exercise your faith.
• Whatever you are be good at it.
• Believe in your heart that you have the RIGHT to be happy and then choose it!

As we prepare to step into the new year we are not going alone. God is right there with us, every step of the way.  Amen.

Remember friends, we are each other’s keeper and the only time we should be looking down on someone is when we are helping them up.
