Familiar, soul searching, somewhat uncomfortable words that our Pastor Ann shared with us Sunday, sent us who heard them re-thinking any resolution we had for the new year.
A Time For Every Purpose Under Heaven? The words of these Ecclesiastes words rolled around in my mind often throughout the day yesterday and again this morning as I began my daily ritual. The one word, of all the poetic beauty of them, that resonated with me was the word Purpose. So, Ellen, what is your purpose for this day, for this year, for this life?
So for this year, rather than making one weak resolution that usually fails after a few days, I am going to look at all things I attempt as to its purpose. What is my purpose in doing that thing? Is it to unite rather than divide, to love rather than hate, to mend rather than tear down, to embrace new things rather than hold on to the past?
So Happy New Year, friends. Happy New Year, Ellen….even this late in life, you have purposes to fulfill. God bless you, everyone!
