If I knew what the year 2020 was to bring twelve months ago, one resolution would have been to survive. With grace, caution and maybe a bit of luck my wife and I managed to stay safe. We enter this new year of 2021 with the hope that this pandemic fades from being a health concern and our lives can return to some normalcy. Challenges will be faced. No one has immunity from that.
Instead of making my usual list of resolutions, I am going to work on one that had my attention on Christmas morning. The real gift of Christmas is not just celebrating the past but making that past present in the lives of others. It is about transformation. If Christians could live as Jesus taught, and if other faiths could practice the best of what their religion has to offer, what a different place this world could be.
Happy New Year!
