Care, Support, & Hope for the New Year
As we move into the new year and new decade many people make resolutions. These may include resolutions to eat better, exercise more, drink less, read the bible more often, pray more regularly, be in worship once more a month, add a new hobby or routine to better their lifestyle and a variety of other ways to improve our lives.
Keeping resolutions can be hard. I am almost never able to keep the ones I make. As hard as it is for me to make and keep resolutions imagine a life situation that makes every day activities harder. Maybe you have just lost someone to death and are in the middle of grief. Maybe you are struggling with cancer or caring for someone who is going through cancer or another illness. Struggles in relationships can cause you to not be able to see the next step forward. Maybe you are dealing with an addiction and you want to make a resolution to stop or move towards stopping. These situations in life can sometimes make it impossible to even see how to live life let alone make a change in your life.
Christ Our Savior wants to support you in your everyday life and especially in the situations when life becomes difficult. Jesus put us together in a community to support and love each other. He has given us each other as a way to share Himself with us. As we support, encourage, lift up, and help each other we are sharing Jesus and His love.
