Happy New Year Friends!

New beginnings!

"Obstacles are things a person sees when he takes his eyes off his goal"         E. Joseph Cossman 

As we rejoice in the New Year and new possibilities ...

Are you one to set New Year's resolutions?   Are you willing to look at new at ways to change habits and set goals in 2012?

How about let's set goals that are positive.   Instead of giving up or forbidding something in our life, let's make our New Year resolutions positive.  Instead of giving up, decide what you would have without it and make that your resolution.  For example, instead of focusing on "stopping smoking", turn your focus to "experiencing increased good health".  Don't give up something;  instead, embrace what you want in life.

This might require a move from the head to the heart.  It does not mean, however, throwing your intelligence and common sense overboard.  Living from the heart means following God-given, Christ intelligence.  Divine intelligence is loving and kind.  It is clear and supportive.

All things are possible when connecting with the Holy Spirit.  We have been promised the following:

"A new heart I will give you, and a new spirit I will put within you."

Ezekiel 36:26

As we move into the New Year, let us embrace the fullness of God's love.  Let us deepen our spiritual commitment with our thoughts and actions.

Joyous blessings,

Rev. Sondra
