Christmas is like all things. We see what we want to see. Will we see what was problematic or room for a solution. Will we focus on what arrived and was good. Or like my household, we had some kind of terrific upheaval in internal organs, etc. And I told Edward as he napped all Christmas, we have had 60 Christmas Days and 58 have been terrific. And Christmas Tuesday was much, much better. We all like Christmas when we focus on the blessings, and, let us be real about what was not so great. Then next year will be better. Christmas Tuesday was far better. A very healing Vegetable Soup! And gifts.
As we left the lake, we had soup there, the men were glad to say, "We are Having a New Year!"
Yes, we are. And how will we start this year with new possibilities???
What will we want to keep us in Joy and Hope in 2024? To keep the Joy of Mercy in Christmas in our Hearts. I will keep Christmas in my Heart All Year Long. Life, living today, is Important.

Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness.
Fight the good fight of the faith.
Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called
and
about which you made the good confession
in the presence of many witnesses.
I charge you in the presence of God,
Who gives life to all things,
and of Christ Jesus,
who in His testimony before Pontius Pilate
made the good confession,
To keep the commandment unstained and free from reproach
To keep the commandment unstained and free from reproach
until the appearing
of our Lord Jesus Christ,
which He will display at the proper time—He who
which He will display at the proper time—He who
is the Blessed
and only Sovereign,
the King of kings and Lord of Lords,
and only Sovereign,
the King of kings and Lord of Lords,
Who alone has immortality,
Who dwells in unapproachable light,
Whom no one has ever seen or can see.
To Him be honor and eternal dominion.
To Him be honor and eternal dominion.
Amen.

How will I want to start my New Year, for me, I will want Christmas, reminding me of the Glory of God. I will want to start my New Year knowing I want to carry God's Promise of Jesus in my Heart.
I will linger in God's Goodness.
