We pause to say thank you to those who mean so much to us in our lives. Let us also remember todayto say thanks to the one who loves us unconditionally and is always with us. For me, the best way to thank God is by being kind to someone and to help another in their journey through life.

Even though we are making plans we ultimately know that each day is a mystery to be lived into fully and expectantly. As the new year begins it is a good time to think about what fears and worries you are carrying with you. Can you release some of them? Are there ways to fill you life with more joy filled moments? We have choices each day as to how we live and experience God in our lives. Over the coming weeks I will be blogging about my upcoming sermon, ideas I see for the church and some of my hope filled moments. I encourage you to respond.

when the star in the sky is gone,

when the kings and princes are home, 

when the shepherds are back with their flock, 

the work of Christmas begins:

To find the lost, To heal the broken, To feed the hungry, To release the prisoner,

To rebuild the nations, to bring peace among people,

To make music in the heart.

poem by Howard Thurman

Happy new year, Trinity friends, and welcome to the work of Christmas in 2012. It’s what we’re about together. 

Love and God’s peace to you all,

Jan
