Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year! May 2019 find you stronger than ever in your walk with Jesus and may you have impact like you’ve never had before! We are wrapping up 2018 and getting ready to walk into 2019. It’s a clean slate. What will your slate look like at the end of 2019? Will it be filled with love, kind words, good deeds and a new positive attitude? Or will it be filled with the negative. Only you can make that decision.

  Today is such a special day…Christmas Eve. Families gather together, children fight sleep and the air is ripe with excitement. On the other hand, this is one of the loneliest nights of the year for those who are widowed or have no family in the area. Take time to give them a call, take them a small gift, pay them a visit or invite them over for a meal or to see the kids open gifts. You might just make this their best Christmas ever! And believe it or not…it just might make yours the same.

The world is changed by your example not by your opinion. Those words are pure gold when put into action. I guarantee you that railing about what you don’t like, what other people shouldn’t do, and what people should do won’t get you anywhere. Just live your life as if Jesus were walking next to you all day. And speak with love. We do the fishing, Jesus does the cleaning! Impact the world with your example.

Don’t let people pull you into their storm. It’s amazing how many people love to bring drama into the lives of others. It’s like they deliberately try to stir things up to get a “rush”. Don’t get sucked into their drama. Instead, pull them into your peace. Too many people become so accustomed to drama that they think it’s normal. DRAMA MAMAS are not normal. Want to keep the peace in your life? Well, unless you’re in the kitchen, stay clear of those who insist on “stirring”!

Our society strives to avoid the possibility of offending anyone and everyone….EXCEPT God! How do we offend God? By words and actions. We have to stop this craziness of walking on eggshells with man and stomping through life with no thought or care about this amazing God who loves us beyond measure. The world can’t do diddly-squat for you…might be time to think this through.

Realize that the only way to live free and be happy is to let go of needing to be liked. We also have to know that freedom comes when we fail to have a need to be “right” or precisely know how life will turn out. It’s time to receive the beautiful gifts of this ordinary day. Decide to walk into your future and enjoy one moment at a time.
