It doesn’t feel like New Year’s Eve and it doesn’t feel like Sunday. It still felt strange not teaching Sunday school. Next week, back to schedule. Todd’s message was POWER IN A SHADOW – people watch us and we have an influence on them whether we choose to or not. What impact will you leave? Are we reflecting God’s influence in our lives in our shadows? We have a brand new year ahead of us – take the 20 second challenge and step out – 20 seconds of insane courage to make a difference in someone’s life. Reach out.
Once I got home and had lunch I started on my list. I took all the window clings down – which was the last box to do before the trees. That one thing makes such a major difference in every room! I switched out the drink coasters from Christmas to winter, repackaged the leftover cookies into smaller containers, got the calendars ready for the big midnight switch, and changed the outdoor flags to New Year’s and winter. Finally tucked Snoopy into his storage shelf, too. AND — the car is back in the garage!
The rooms look empty but peaceful. I adjusted the location of a few items but nothing major. Everything is still very dusty and dirty, but everything is put away. My feet hurt – I made a hundred trips up and down the steps. Tomorrow I have all day to clean and do laundry. No other plans…
Scripture:
Quote:
TOMORROW January 1st is:
National Bloody Mary Day; National Hangover Day (???); National Thank God It’s Monday Day; New Year’s Day.
Happy New Year – start the day off by being thankful for all the wonderful things in your life, and for a brand new year to look forward to! Be safe! God bless...
