I’ve never been much of a practitioner of New Year Resolutions, probably because I’m not much of a keeper of New Year Resolutions.
Sitting here today in contemplation of all that last year brought. And vowing not to let it color the hope and excitement of a brand new slate, I keep coming back to what our remarkable clergy tell us at church.
As much as I want to doubt them, every now and then I get it!! That message is, because of Christ, we live a life of abundance, not scarcity. We need to set our bank accounts aside and look at the abundances of our life.
One thing this pandemic has forced is an appreciation for the important things that make life worth living, like a hug from a loved one, face to face and personal conversation with our friends, and the importance of all the front line folks of society who bore the blunt of helping us navigate this new existence.
An abundant life calls us to bring forth our very best selves…those selves that look to give rather than receive. A life of abundance means that we each possess a well of goodness waiting to be tapped for our brother.
Here is to a year of abundance of love, hope, and sharing. Happy New Year.
