On this threshold of one year to
another, I encourage you to imagine God is sitting side by side with you. God’s love has you, holds you. Today, I encourage you to think about:
What brought you joy and made a
positive impact on you? Make a list ~
feel free to review what you wrote yesterday.
Who made a positive impact on your
life? List the names of those who left
fingerprints on your heart.
Your accomplishments this last
year ~ this doesn’t have to be “I won an Olympic medal” kind of triumph. It can be something you worked on ~ like I
walked a mile most days or I tried to love my enemies, or I was more loving
toward my family. I know many of us
don’t want to pat ourselves on the back, but take a moment to honor that you
made it through this year ~ which, given all that has happened, is really
something. And this past year has
changed us all.
Now think about a challenge
you faced ~ could be a family member who died or standing up for justice, or trying
a new way of being in the world.
What did you learn about
yourself this last year?
If you could sum up this year in
one word, what would it be and why?
May this prayerful pondering be
a holy moment filled with God’s love that has you. Amen.
