Today is the first Sunday of the civil year, also in the church we celebrate the feast of the Epiphany. When this time of year comes around, it’s nice to connect as a church or a family by reflecting on the year that has passed and envisioning the one we have before us.
Our prayers and reflection now, are an invitation to think of our life events, both big and small. From important life lessons and beloved memories, down to our favorite foods and books—these are all highlights of the year that are worthy of keeping in a special place in our hearts and fun to look back on.
We also invite all of you to visualize the year ahead and put your plans and ideas into action! Remember, the more specific you can be when setting goals, the better! The first step is taking your big-picture dreams and breaking them down into actionable steps—one intention at a time. It’s the small accomplishments that create a sense of well-being for children and grown-ups alike.
Spend some time imagining what it will feel like to accomplish your goals. And specially never forget to include God in your plans. When we give Him the special place he is worthy of, life will be much better for you and your loving ones. Let us make 2020 the best year of our lives, let’s grow and celebrate our accomplishments!
