God has blessed us with a new year and a fresh start. How I shape this year will depend on the choices I make. Reflecting on the past year, I recognize there were times I could have done better. Now, I’ve been given another chance.
It’s easy to look forward with anticipation to all the good things a new year might bring. Yet, I know challenges will come too, things that may not be so pleasant. My prayer is to stay grounded in faith, no matter the circumstances.
Right now, things feel positive. After the joy of Christmas celebrations and wonderful moments with family, I feel hopeful as I look ahead to what this year may unfold.
Specifically, I plan to focus on continued learning, maintaining good health, and fostering new friendships. I want to share more smiles than I can count and face each day with love in my heart, ready to give it freely whenever I can.
For instance, just this morning at the pet store, I had a small but impactful moment. As I walked in, I noticed a man coming out, carrying a large bag and looking tired. I thought, here’s a chance to share kindness. I greeted him with a cheerful “Good morning!” At first, he seemed startled, but then his face lit up with a big, welcoming smile. It was a simple interaction, but it reminded me how powerful kindness can be—and how much joy it brings.
This year, I’ll give my best effort again. Some results will be great, while others may fall short. Regardless, I’ll remind myself: Good job, keep going.
I also want to take a moment to thank all of you. Your likes, loves, shares, and comments on my posts mean so much. While I may not always reply, I hope my words find their way to you, making a difference in your lives.
As we step into this new year, I wish you peace, hope, grace, and abundant love. May you be equipped to face whatever the year brings and may God’s blessings walk with you every step of the way.
Love you all,
Jerry
