President's Note
As we watch 2024 coming to a close, what a wonderful moment to reflect on the things that we so often ignore as a result of our distraction by the ups and downs of daily life. In your moments of sadness, do you remember that life has given you things for which to be thankful, that somewhere near you right this moment is something beautiful, maybe even something magical? In your moments of frustration, will you remember that there is more happening than you can know, that perhaps the person wronging you is struggling with something that warranted what they did? Even in moments of laughter, can you recall that sometimes those who seem just fine sometimes are not, and that an iota of extra kindness, some unexpected empathy, or just a silent intention for goodness on their behalf could make all the difference?
The world is full of unknowns. What better time than the beginning of a new year to commit to seeking out those mysteries, uncovering the gifts they have to offer, and sharing them with those around you? |
